During the session, they learnt more about the Linkedin Economic Graph as well as the Social Recruitment Ecosystem. Students also gained practical experience through hands-on practice in building their personal and corporate branding. They also got to apply what they had learnt in class about digital recruitment and talent metrics analysis through a case study.
