How to Recruit Duffield Engineering Students

• Using Handshake

  The best way to reach your target population is to post positions in Cornell Handshake, which is our student portal for full-time jobs, internships, summer jobs, and upcoming career events. You may post positions for Cornell students and alumni at no charge. Handshake also allows you to post those positions to all the schools you are connected too, not only Cornell.

  We recommend first-time Handshake users review Handshake’s Getting Started with Handshake: Employers Guide. Complete instructions for posting positions in Handshake can be found in the website’s Help section.

• Career Fairs

  Cornell Career Services hosts multiple career fairs of various size and scope throughout the academic year. This includes their flagship fairs, the University-Wide Career Fair days held in the fall semester, and the University-Wide Spring Career Fair. For more information about Cornell Career Fair offerings, please visit Cornell Career Services: Career Fairs.

• Information Sessions

  Whether you are planning an information session, a tech talk, a case interview workshop, coffee chats, or something similar, a meaningful event can enhance your overall campus recruiting strategy. It allows you to promote your organization, its opportunities and meet prospective candidates.

  • Select your date: Request your first date choice using Handshake; we also ask you include a backup date. Requests for in-person and virtual events should be submitted 3 weeks prior to your event.
    • Resources on How to Request an Event are available through the Handshake Help Center.
  • Indicate the student organization you are currently working with or would like to work with.

• Scheduled Interview Day: In-Person or Virtual

  Please request your interview date using Handshake and contact employerscheduling@cornell.edu with any questions.

• International Recruiting

  International students come from all over the world to learn, explore, and create solutions to new problems here at Cornell. While many students do plan to return home, most place a high value on U.S. work experience. Cornell University’s International Students and Scholars Office offers guidance for employers with their Employer’s Guide to Hiring International Students.

• Co-operative Education Experience

  The Cornell Co-operative Education Experience is a paid educational experience that integrates academic and career interests with industry experience. Students may formally enroll in the co-op program during a fall or spring semester.
