Recruit with Us
Our team will work with you to create a successful recruitment strategy to engage with our students. Our industry-specific employer relations staff 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 CST. Usually employers will host info sessions 2-3 weeks prior to job interviews.
- Virtual 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. Save the date for our Fall 2021 Career & Internship Fair on September 30, 2021.
- Virtual Interviews: Our team will assist you in booking and managing day-of interviews. Book your 2021-22 interview dates via UChicago Handshake beginning on May 5, 2021.
- Virtual Coffee Chats: Coffee chats are a great way for employers to interact with students in a more informal and intimate setting. Connect with our team and schedule your virtual chats as early as August 2, 2021.
- Sponsor an Event: For more information on getting involved with UChicago recruiting events, please contact Nadia Casperson at ncasperson@uchicago.edu
Key Dates 2021-2022
Career Advancement plans to continue providing virtual support to employers and students, while also reinstating in-person programs and advising. With online recruiting opening on August 2, 2021, this will allow flexibility for both employers and students to maximize access and involvement.
With continued adherence to health and safety protocols, the College looks forward to welcoming students back and resuming in-person learning, if the state of the pandemic and the health of our community allow. We encourage you to reference UChicago Health Pact on our commitment to a culture of public health.
