Recruiting Program Information
The Recruiting Schedule is available on Skidmore CareerLink. You must register to participate in the Recruiting Program and to receive email regarding jobs in your field(s) of interest.
ON-SITE RECRUITING/RESUME REFERRAL
On-site interviewing provides an opportunity to meet with employers at their facility. The majority of recruiters prefer this option. A date when resumes and cover letters are due will be announced in CareerLink. Candidates apply online via CareerLink. Career Services sends the resumes and cover letters electronically to the recruiting company for screening. The company reviews resumes and cover letters to determine which candidates they would like to interview.
Candidates selected for interviews are notified by either Career Services or the recruiting company. An interview will be scheduled at the company's facility at a mutually convenient time.
If you haven't heard from the company within seven to ten days of the resume submission deadline call to discuss the status of your application and the possibility of arranging an interview.
CAMPUS INTERVIEWING
Prescreening - Some companies review resumes in advance to determine which candidates they would like to interview. A date when resumes and cover letters are due will be announced in CareerLink. Candidates selected for interviews are notified by Career Services and an interview time is scheduled.
Open Sign-Up - All interested candidates may sign-up for an interview in CareerLink. Sign-up continues on a first-come, first-served basis until the schedule is filled. A resume must be submitted online when signing up for an interview.
INFORMATION TABLES
A table is set up in Case Center for a representative of the recruiting organization to distribute company literature and answer questions about the company, their hiring policies and available positions.
INFORMATION SESSIONS
Information sessions are presentations given by a company recruiting on campus. The recruiter provides extensive information about the company and the positions for which they are interviewing. There is time available for questions and answers. We strongly recommend that you attend if you are considering interviewing with the company.
Please note: Career Services staff does not necessarily endorse organizations in our recruitment program. We are obligated to affiliate with any employer that approaches us in good faith, indicates a desire to recruit our candidates and signs our "non-discrimination" clause. Candidates are expected to research employers, assess their financial standing and decide whether to apply for positions. Please refer to our handout on "Researching Employers" for some suggestions and ask a staff member if you need assistance.
