Recruit with Us
Our Employer Relations & Development team will work with you to create a successful recruitment strategy to engage with our students. Our relationship managers will assist with strategy building, student questions, and scheduling needs.
While each company may engage with students in different ways, we suggest considering the following:
- Virtual Information sessions and company presentations: One of the best ways to engage students is through holding a virtual information session, where you can present on your firm's culture and any upcoming opportunities, as well as network with students. Most info sessions are held in the evening after 5pm. Usually employers will host info sessions 2-3 weeks prior to job interviews.
- Career Fair: Career Advancement offers an annual career and internship fair in the fall quarter. Join us for an opportunity to connect with students from the College and UChicago’s graduate and professional schools and recruit top talent for your internship and full-time opportunities. This centralized, location-independent format will maximize your team’s time and efforts and provide greater access to the UChicago talent community.
- Virtual interviews: Our employer relations team will assist you in booking and managing day-of interviews. Book your interview sessions via UChicago Handshake.
- Coffee chats: Coffee chats are a great way for employers to interact with students in a more informal and intimate setting.
- Sponsor an event. For more information on getting involved with UChicago recruiting events, please contact Nadia Casperson at ncasperson@uchicago.edu
