Graduate recruitment campaigns are some of the most calendar-intensive hiring activities an organisation can run. Over the course of a typical graduate scheme campaign — from application deadline to offer day — a large employer might run hundreds of assessment events, interviews, and internal selection meetings across a period of several months.
A typical graduate campaign generates calendar events across several stages:
For a graduate scheme taking 20 people from a pool of 500 applicants, this can generate well over a thousand calendar entries across the campaign period.
Once the campaign is complete and all offers have been accepted, the entire campaign calendar can be cleared in a single WipeAway session:
The calendar is then clean and ready for next year's graduate campaign — with all sharing permissions and assessor access still in place.
Year-on-year approach: Many graduate recruitment teams reuse the same calendar each year, clearing it at the end of each campaign cycle. This avoids the overhead of re-sharing with assessors and hiring managers at the start of every new cycle.
University careers services that coordinate employer events — career fairs, employer presentations, on-campus interview days — face the same challenge at the end of each academic year. Clearing the events calendar at year end gives a clean starting point for the next academic year's employer engagement programme.
