Register today for upcoming Yale SOM CDO hosted recruiting events
The Yale SOM CDO already has scheduled nearly twenty multi-employer virtual recruiting engagements for the next year. All are visible in 12Twenty and open for free registration. These events range from small group to large scale, from industry-themed to open to all, and even from including Yale SOM students only to including a broader graduate school audience. Regardless of your organization’s location, size, age or recruiting needs, we encourage you to build these events into your recruiting strategy. Simply reach out to som.recruiting@yale.edu or your Employer Partnership Manager to learn more.
What’s Next
Opportunities to train students recruiting for full-time roles
As Orientation closes in late August and classes start by September 1, many students will be interested in jump-starting their full-time recruiting efforts with interview training in early September. We are happy to coordinate interview prep training, which is a great way to engage with students and help them shine throughout your recruiting process. If interested, please reach out directly to your Employer Partnership Manager who can help facilitate efforts.
