Tabling Events
Tabling events offer a prime opportunity for direct engagement with students. By reserving a table during high-traffic hours, you can connect with students in a casual atmosphere. This setting allows for informal conversations, distribution of promotional materials, and the chance to showcase your company culture and available opportunities.Â
Interviewing
We can help you facilitate interviews through our in-person interview rooms or virtual rooms via MS Teams or Zoom. All such interviews will be scheduled using Handshake's interview schedule tool. If you would like help setting up your interview schedules, please reach out to us at [email protected].
Career Fairs
Our Career Fairs attract thousands of students to explore employment and internship opportunities. Career fairs provide an expansive platform featuring booths from various industries and organizations, facilitating extensive networking and recruitment opportunities. As an employer, you'll have the opportunity to engage with a vast pool of talent and promote your available opportunities.
