1. What are Campus Champions
A central component of CareerOS is professional networking
Students use CareerOS to reach out to employees at their target companies to learn more about the application process, the culture and career paths
Companies can nominate employees to serve as Campus Champions at their target universities
These Champions serve as brand ambassadors and are open to informal chats with students from the universities that they have been nominated to
Employers can select employees who are alumni of target universities, who are good messengers and are happy to represent their company
This way companies take control of who represents them at their target universities
Upon nomination, Campus Champions will receive a briefing on CareerOS and their role
2. How students interact with Champions
Students receive contact suggestions in many places across the app
This includes the company profile, the overview board and the contacts page
Campus Champions will appear prominently in these places as contact suggestions who were specifically chosen to chat with students from their university
Students will only see active Champions who have been nominated to their respective university
Students can reach out to the Champion from CareerOS and chat directly to their LinkedIn or email - Champions themselves do not need to be on CareerOS
Students will see the "demand" of a Champion - if many of their fellow students are in conversation with this champion, this will shown to avoid overcrowding
3. How to add Champions
Head to this link and click "Add Champion" to add your first Champion as an employer on CareerOS
Adding a new Champion requires you to give their LinkedIn URL, work email and current role (e.g. Senior Consultant)
CareerOS pulls the Champion's contact information, name and profile image
You can always come back and change the work email and role - the LinkedIn URL cannot be changed
Next, you will be asked to select the universities for which you want to nominate the Champion - select as many checkboxes and click "save"
4. How to edit Champions
If you want to edit the work email, role or name of a champion, click the "edit" icon in the Champions table
If you want to change the LinkedIn URL, you need to add a new Champion
To change the target universities of your Campus Champion, click the "university" icon in the Champions table and modify the selected universities
5. About archiving or deleting Champions
Using the switch on the far right side in the Champions table activates or deactivates the Champion
If a Champion is deactivated, they will not be shown to students as a Champion anymore
Students who have already saved or engaged with a now deactivated Champion will still see them as a contact
The activation and deactivation of a Champion is reversible at any given time
By default, a newly created Champion is always set as active
To permanently delete a champion, click on the red "trash" icon on in the Champions table
If you deleted a Champion, you can always add this person again at a later stage
