How Dow Chemical uncovered hidden talent using 12twenty

“Our recruiting team wanted to expand our search beyond our target MBA programs, but had no focused way to do that, until we found 12twenty. We quickly found a very strong candidate using 12twenty’s filters, and that candidate interned with us last summer and is joining us full-time!”
