Recruiting early

I'm out in LA right now meeting with a few firms for recruiting. If there is one thing that I would definitely stress to business school students, it is the value of early recruiting.

In terms of signaling, it shows that you are interested early, that you are willing to give up some marginal leisure time, and that you are knowledgable about the industry and firms before they do their company briefings, which can add quite a bit of difference at the margin.
