[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am interviewing a candidate who just graduated from HYP this spring. They are the only Ivy candidate we've ever had for our nonprofit entry level position. They probably won't accept our offer (too low) but what has impressed us is how thoughtful they are in addition to just being very sharp. I have kids the same age in slightly lesser schools and this candidate really stood out from them and their peers in their maturity level, ability to think through all angles and ask the right questions, as well as their passion for the subject matter. I consider my kids smart, but this is another level.  FWIW[/quote]

Sounds exactly like the experience I recently had. We had a few Ivy candidates and a Duke candidate, were impressed with many of them but decided we wanted the Duke kid as our top choice, and were able to make a very competitive offer given their background and our desire to have them join us. We were unsure if even with a heavily improved offer they would join, but they did! Part of our draw is a very strong WLB and amazing benefits so we also know our compensation is much more than just the take-home pay, and that likely helped.[/quote]
