Some people on these forums seem to think that they are the only companies hiring CS majors, and/or that the presence of them recruiting at a college makes the college somewhat special. In reality, they are big enough to have both the resource and needs to recruit widely, so their presence on campus is not that special (and students know who they are and can apply to them directly). It is the many smaller companies that are less well known, and whose recruiting on campus may alert students to their existence. Many of the smaller companies do little travel recruiting, though they are more likely to recruit at more local or regional schools where travel is less of a hassle.
