Solution Summary

An international job search for Nestle is examined.

Solution Preview

Nestles recruitment strategies include job fairs at college campuses and through ads on the internets job source websites. They also have information about jobs on both their USA and Worldwide website. Also on their website, there are videos where you hear executives discussing Nestle. They have also used positive branding (the candy bar commercials, the QUIK rabbit etc., Purina dog and cat foods etc).
