Students are eager to connect with recruiters, hiring managers, recent graduates, alumni and others to learn about interviewing for and working at an employer.
To ease this process for all employers, the Yale SOM CDO hosts a variety of multi-employer events throughout the year and provides logistics and marketing support for employer-hosted events. Additionally, Employer Partnerships Managers will advise on efficient and effective ways to incorporate the following strategies into any hiring plan:
- BE INCLUSIVE throughout the process - see Yale SOM Employer Guide to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion for actionable recommendations
- BE INFORMATIVE at every step, leveraging email, web content, and flyers to make processes and contact information accessible and referable
- BE INTERACTIVE to engage with students and avoid talking at students - consider sharing presentations in advance to encourage Q&A during engagements
- BE INTERPERSONAL so both students and employers can get to know each other through breakout rooms, coffee chats, etc.
As students view recruiting as a staged process, the Yale SOM CDO supports a variety of engagement formats to aid employers looking to make meaningful recruiting connections. Your Employer Partnerships Manager will advise on the best formats to meet your hiring needs, timing, and resources:
