Recruiting Syracuse University Students

Getting Started
The Center for Career Services On-Campus Recruiting Program offers the opportunity for employers to interview highly qualified undergraduate and graduate students in majors and programs from the schools and colleges within Syracuse University.

Our 12,128 full-time undergraduates and 3,916 graduate students represent 50 states and more than 82 foreign countries. In addition to its commitment to academic excellence, Syracuse University promotes experiential education through numerous internships, co-op programs, study abroad opportunities, and 300+ student organizations.

This balance between scholarship and practical application explains why Syracuse is a key recruiting institution for more than 375 large and small employers.

Recruiting Interns from Syracuse University
Employers utilize internship programs to provide learning experiences and to identify outstanding candidates for future permanent hiring needs. Our Internship Services area can assist employers with this important part of a human resources strategy. Read Recruiting Interns for more information.

Interview Day!
Complete a Student Evaluation Form after each student’s interview. After completing three or more interviews, students may solicit feedback on their interview performance to gain better interview skills.

CCS maintains a strict “No Show” Policy. Any student not showing for an interview will be suspended from on-campus interviews, until student meets with the Assistant Director and submits a letter of apology to the employer. Please let us know if you have a “No Show” on your interview schedule.

Follow-Up

Presentations and Pre-Interview Meetings

We can arrange such meetings and target the students you wish to meet with appropriate publicity.
