Answer 2

If you are a legitimate Information Technology recruiter from a legitimate company you might want to check out job fairs in the area like in Navy Pier, several of Chicago's Community Colleges, and several 4 year Colleges. Ask them when they'll have a job fair at Navy Pier or at the college's campuses from which you can rent booth or table from to recruit recent graduates and employee candidates.
