Recruiting Policies
The Chicago Harris Career Development Office looks forward to partnering you to meet all your on-campus recruiting needs. On Campus recruiting take place Monday-Friday, from September through May.
The Process
Employment opportunities are announced through our online job bank and recruiting system, HarrisLink. While employers can forward job descriptions to the Career Development office, we do encourage all organizations to create a personal HarrisLink account.
All Chicago Harris students and graduates have access to view employment opportunities, information sessions, and on-campus recruiting events through this database. Application materials generally include a resume and cover letter but other materials such as a writing sample and transcripts can also be required. Interested candidates submit required materials by deadline date and employers will receive a candidate packet electronically. Once application materials are received, the employer can select candidates and request dates for interviews.
The Career Development Office requires employers to provide at least three weeks notice to allow students time to submit their application materials and provide time to select candidate. All interview schedules must close at least three business days in advance of interview dates.
The Career Development Office offers pre-select and open schedules:
Pre-Select Schedules:
After reviewing job descriptions, interested students submit resumes to the Career Development Office, which are then forwarded to the employer. We encourage employers to select primary, as well as alternate, interview candidates.
Open Schedules:
After reviewing the position description, students register for interviews on a first-come, first-served basis. Employers receive student resumes through HarrisLink.
Interview
Employers can choose to schedule interviews the day of an information session or at a later time. Interview schedules can accommodate up to 10 candidates with a start time of 8:00a.m. and end time of 5:00p.m. This schedule provides the employer two 15-minute breaks and an hour for lunch. Interview schedules can also be customized to fit employers’ needs. Please contact Jandi Kelly at jandi@uchicago.edu or 773.702.5063 for assistance.
Post-Interview Communication
The Career Development Office compiles information regarding employer offer for our students and alumni. This information is used for reporting purposes only and will not be personally identifiable. Please provide the following information to our office: employee name, student name, position title, location, and annual salary. We also appreciate receiving feedback about our students throughout the interview process.
