Recruit on Campus

Employers are welcome to host information sessions on campus if you have attended a job fair and/or recruited at 正规博彩十大网站排名 in previous semesters. Sessions and presentations can familiarize and promote opportunities and hiring processes to 正规博彩十大网站排名 students. If you have met a number of interested candidates and your team would like to provide additional (or next step) information to students as a group, we can check campus space availability and customize your request to fit your recruiting needs. Sessions are typically one hour on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, or Thursdays (between 12-2 pm or 4-6 pm). There is currently no fee for an employer to request this type of recruiting option through our offices, although it is subject to space availability.

 **NOTE** VIRTUAL sessions may be more successful for your team and easier to schedule. Virtual sessions allow "on demand" viewing, scheduling more than one session prior to a job fair or "peak recruiting" and is convenient for your team members to present. A virtual event does not require space reservations on campus OR require travel time and expense for potential candidates or your team to participate.

Please review our Important Dates  prior to submitting an Event Request in Handshake. You will receive an email with reservation details after your request has been processed through our workflow.

Things to Keep in Mind: 

•  We require an active job posting within Handshake prior to requesting an information session.
• Requests must be submitted at least 4 weeks before you would like to recruit on campus. This will allow time to reserve space and advertise to targeted students for a successful event.
• Information sessions cannot be reserved for the first two weeks of class, during student holidays and scheduled university closings, or the last two weeks of the semester. Please review our "Important Dates" for the semester to avoid requesting days our department is hosting job fairs or when students will not be on campus.
• If a position includes features such as commission only pay, base pay plus commission, or start‐up costs to the employee; there must be signage in the room clearly indicating this at all times. Failure to follow these policies will prevent the employer from future use of our services.

The Department of Career Planning & Development (DCPD) offers several ways for recruiters to meet individually with 正规博彩十大网站排名 students and alumni to discuss open opportunities. Please review the types of interview scheduling below and select the option that is the best fit for your company. Prime collegiate recruiting season runs September through November and February through April.

• At Your Location/Virtual: Recruiter invites candidates to interview at your offices or virtually through an online meeting platform (e.g., Zoom, Microsoft Teams, etc.). Please use the information provided on the resume or application to contact candidates directly and schedule interviews. 
• Preselect Schedule: Recruiter requests an interview schedule to be set up in Handshake. Recruiters review applications and select candidates they would like to interview, and then candidates select interview time slots within the system. Interview schedules are confirmed 2-business days before interviews are held. This can also be done for virtual interviews.
• Open Schedule: Recruiter requests an interview schedule in Handshake, that allows candidates to apply during a specific application period. If the candidate meets qualifications set within the schedule, they can select an interview time slot immediately after submitting their application. This can also be done for virtual interviews.
• Build Your Own / Room Only: Recruiters request a schedule in Handshake to interview candidates they identified through earlier recruiting activities such as fairs, job postings, etc.  YOUR TEAM is responsible for scheduling candidates directly and setting interview time slots. This can also be done for virtual interviews. Please proceed with steps below to request on-campus interviews.
