Recruiting Process

What’s the process of recruiting? When’s the best timeline to start reaching out to people like is it before or after you send in your resume/application. As a freshman from a non-target, I want to get some preparation but ai can’t find the exact timeline to start talking to people and when analyst referrals are going to be sent. Thank you!

More suggestions...

Fingers crossed that one of those helps you.
