2019 HPE Houston "Externship" Recruiting Event
Identifying, acquiring and retaining talent is arguably the most important role of a leader. HPEs future success depends on our ability to obtain and grow the necessary skills needed to compete today and in the future. As the finance function continues to evolve from transactional to analytical, the skills needed to succeed in this function are becoming more difficult to find. Similar trends are occurring in the marketing, supply chain, and product management functions. The ability to draw insightful and relevant conclusions from the vast amount of data at our fingertips is a mandatory skill needed in most of the areas of our business.
At the same time, the most talented individuals want to work in a collaborative and dynamic environment where they can best develop their skills and grow in their career. They are looking for challenging problems to apply what they have learned, and leaders who support them. A summer internship at HPE is a fantastic avenue for both HPE and students to evaluate each other in a real-world setting.
In a unique twist of a traditional summer internship, HPE held a one-day โExternshipโ event on Friday, January 11th. The event included 12 top MBA / BBA / MS Analytics students from top schools in Texas (by invitation only) to participate in a short real-world case study competition at HPEโs Houston campus. The goal was to simulate a โday in the lifeโ at HPE to evaluate how these candidates could solve a challenging quantitative problem in a collaborative, fast-paced, multi-functional environment.
- Teams were formed with students from different schools, different degrees, different strengths
- Teams were given a large data set and a business problem โฆ and had access to subject matter experts for short burst sessions
- The presentation was 6 minutes long and given on a whiteboard to a multi-functional group of judges
This was an experiment in a different approach to talent acquisition and company cultural assessment. The feedback from the students has been amazing and our ability to assess these students for future success at HPE was much deeper. We hope to continue and scale this kind of event next year.
We thank all of our leaders who participated in this event:
