Case 5

Trilogy uses unconventional recruitment techniques to attract passionate talent. They recruit directly from college campuses, seeking the freshest graduates with an average employee age of 26. Prospective employees and their spouses are invited for a fun three-day interview trip to Austin, where they participate in social activities like visiting nightclubs and going mountain biking. This conveys Trilogy's culture of being youthful and socially oriented. However, the focus on young employees without families would not appeal to the author, a 30-year old single mother. Suggestions are made to improve Trilogy's process by better defining roles, screening candidates more thoroughly, and considering abilities over just age.
