On-campus
interviewing at Rutgers University allows you to recruit high
caliber students from a variety of disciplines. Interviews for
full time hires take place during 10 weeks in the fall at our
state-of-the-art Interview Center and 10 weeks in the spring. Most
internship recruiting activity occurs in the spring semester,
February-March. Engineering Co-op assignments run January through
June and July through December. Recruit for January positions
in October or November and July positions in March or April. |
| The
Rutgers on-campus interview system utilizes CareerKnight, which
is powered by CSO Research, Inc. Ours is a 100% pre-select system,
so you only choose those candidates whom you want to interview
on campus. To get started, simply go to CareerKnight to request a recruiting date. Then follow the step-by-step process
discussed below. The process typically takes four weeks to complete
from initiation of your position posting to the interview day. |
We
can accommodate those employers who are trying to fill an opening
quickly by modifying our standard timeframe and offering customized
solutions to your recruiting needs.
