For tech recruiters, UW-Madison is a hotbed for computer science talent

Over a thousand students and recruiters jostled about the Varsity Hall conference room in Union South on Tuesday afternoon. Lines of varying sizes snaked throughout the space, some even winding outside of it, as students — many wearing formal wear, almost all clutching resumes — waited to chat with potential employers from almost 50 different startups, tech firms and government institutions. Local institutions like Epic Systems and American Family Insurance had booths side by side with global brands like Facebook and Bloomberg.
