Identifying the need to bolster its brand awareness to attract top talent early in their careers, Alteryx collaborated with CodePath, leveraging our extensive network of highly skilled and qualified individuals who were actively participating in our Virtual Career Fairs. This partnership presented a unique opportunity for Alteryx to showcase its support and encouragement for underrepresented students, as well as establish trust and credibility with potential candidates. 

By strategically focusing on events and workshops that exposed students to the company’s products, Alteryx was able to provide valuable support, uplift aspiring professionals, and ultimately recruit exceptional talent. As a result, nine CodePath students were able to start their professional journeys at the world’s leading Analytics Automation Platform.

The Challenge

When it came to up-leveling its talent acquisition strategy Alteryx, the world’s leading Analytics Automation Platform, recognized that fostering genuine connections with potential candidates who were unfamiliar with the company was the only way. 

Despite having a bespoke product to add to their accolades, the Alteryx team saw a need to deepen their reputation with prospective candidates and showcase their company culture and commitment to developing talent.

The Solution

Alteryx quickly discovered that its most powerful asset for building brand credibility with potential hires was human-to-human interaction, and saw an opportunity to do so easily and at scale through CodePath’s Virtual Career Fairs.

Over 4,200+ students and alumni who participated in CodePath’s virtual career fairs were actively engaged in career networking with a diverse range of prominent companies. The event also afforded students an opportunity to explore organizations organically beyond the biggest players in the tech industry. Alteryx went from pushing for more hires to becoming a key player in the CodePath recruitment field. 

Throughout our partnership, Alteryx was present at every significant recruiting event, while current employees volunteered to support CodePath students with resumes and technical interview skill development to build genuine, high-impact relationships with our students.

Throughout these real-life engagements, hundreds of students nationwide, many of whom from underrepresented backgrounds, were exposed directly to Alteryx and saw it as a powerful employer brand where they could picture themselves working.
