The Career Center diligently strives to ensure that the recruiting environment on campus is favorable and pleasant for employers and students. To accomplish a positive recruiting experience for employers and students, we make a conscious effort to complete all on-campus recruiting arrangements at least four weeks prior to the visit. On-campus recruiting benefits employers and students in that they both get the opportunity to make a personable impression upon the other.
On-Campus Interviews
Schedule time to meet students on-campus for your company’s interview process. Interviews can be scheduled through Connections, and the following options are available when considering how you would like to screen candidates.
Prescreen students’ resumes to invite for interviews. (Recommend requesting interview date 3 – 4 weeks prior to campus recruiting visit)
Select alternates in case prescreened invited students do not fill up interview schedule(s).
Prescreen of students’ resumes is not necessary. Students who meet requirements can sign up for interview times.
Employers have collected resumes from previous event(s) or job posting, etc., contacted students, built interviews schedule, and would like to reserve interview space.
Request an Information Session
Employers can informally introduce their company to students before on-campus interviews, sharing current job openings and requirements. This helps students learn about the company beforehand and determine if they’re a fit for any available positions.
Consider these types of Information Sessions:
If you are seeking to fill available positions with your organization and want to meet candidates face to face and collect resumes, this event is for you. This session is casual, but you will be able to give a formal or informal presentation about your company work environment and available opportunities to students.
This session is designed for students who have scheduled interview times for your on-campus recruiting visit. The students are able to get to know what it’s like to work for your company. Hosting pre-interview presentations allow you to promote your brand on campus and develop relationships with students. This is your time to share information about your company culture, work environment, day-to-day operations, and available opportunities to students.
A display table session is the perfect way to establish your company name on campus and spread the word about internship, co-op and full-time job opportunities. Display table sessions are conveniently located in the Colvard Student Union, which is a high traffic area that provides you with the opportunity to meet students as they engage in their daily activities.
