Patrick Scheetz, Ph.D.  \nThe Recruiting Trends Report began as a dream, an idea that grew from a small seed sown in 1970. Jack Shingleton, Michigan State University’s Director of Career Services and Placement, and I brainstormed about expanding our research efforts to advance our understanding of college recruiting. MSU already had an excellent and highly regarded graduation follow-up reporting system that included a main report for all new graduates (Bachelors, Masters, and Doctoral degrees), as well as special reports on minority, women, teacher education and Honors College graduates. Later, special studies of alumni five-year and ten-year postgraduation were undertaken.  \nJack and I firmly believed that a career service and placement operations were only as strong asthe research arm of their units. At MSU, we had designed, created, and developed the first computerized interview sign up system in the nation and expanded to other placement operations in our office. At this time, MSU’s career services earned a national reputation for these innovations. Guided research from Career Services and Placement office made this possible.  \nA recruiting report already existed in 1970 called the Endicott report. Frank Endicott researched and produced the report through the career office at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. It was the preeminent report for new college graduates. A hint that Frank Endicott was about to retire from his role as director of placement and possibly no longer author the report triggered our brainstorming about future research on new college graduates.  \nJack and I felt that we could effectively step into this niche with the research expertise available to us. Our ultimate objective was not only to create a report which would help with recruitment of new college graduates at Michigan State University but expand the career opportunities for all new graduates.
