Attend a career fair or interview day to recruit students at one of our signature events. Through the Handshake platform, you can create 1:1 virtual chats or group sessions with students at a career fair or create a schedule of pre-selected interviews for an upcoming interview day. 

Share real-world experiences and industry advice in career workshops and industry-related panels. Educate students on insider strategy and tips in your field while building your brand on campus.  

You can meet one-on-one with students for 15-30 minutes to provide career advice. Like an informational interview, you can discuss your career path or provide resume critiques.

Definition of Recruiting Program

The Recruiting Program includes (but is not limited to) the following list of activities: online job and internship postings (including Handshake), on-campus interviews, information sessions or employer workshops, panel discussions, classroom presentations, career fairs, virtual events, on-site employer visits, and any recruiting activities with our member consortia. Employers must coordinate all recruiting outreach, marketing, and activities through the Center.

We will not sponsor the following recruiting activities:

• On-campus solicitation or sales of goods or services.
• Positions with commission-only compensation.
• Hiring students to recruit other students and alumnae/i for the employer's purposes.
• Organizations without valid company email addresses (from free services such as gmail, yahoo, etc.) or emails that fail to correspond with their website.
• Fee-based opportunities or initial investments to be paid by student to gain employment.
• Third-party recruiting agencies that do not disclose the hiring entities they represent
• Employers without a working website.
• The Employer is unable to provide written documentation of registration with the Better Business Bureau upon request.
• The use of alcohol at all recruiting events on or off campus.

The Center does not verify any of the data provided by students. It is the employer’s sole responsibility to ensure the accuracy of student data.

When requested by the Center, participating employers will provide information on all employment offers extended to students. Information may include but is not limited to, student name, title, division, location of the position, employment start date, and compensation.

Employers posting an internship in the online recruiting system should review The U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division guidelines on compensation.

This fact sheet provides information on whether workers are considered unpaid interns or paid employees under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).

To ensure that our students are well informed about international job opportunities, international job descriptions should include the following:

• Support the organization provides to employees, including Visa support, relocation services, etc.
• Information on the safety and housing practices of your organization
• Fees involved and certification requirements (if none, please specify)

Students should be given sufficient time to arrange their schedules. If a student is already scheduled to interview with another employer and this poses a conflict, please demonstrate reasonable flexibility by providing the student with alternate dates for the second-round interview.

Employers are expected to give students ample time to make an informed decision. Below is our recommendation for our employers regarding offer timelines:

• Fall internship or entry-level job offer: Nov. 13 or two weeks after the offer date, whichever is later
• Spring internship or entry-level job offer: two weeks after the offer date
