Professional Recruiting Programs

• Scheduling Process
  All that is necessary is to contact The Career Center regarding an available date. As indicated above, you may prefer to schedule an information session in conjunction with scheduled on-campus interviews. The Career Center has found that employers conducting such sessions and/or appearing at career fairs do attract more candidates signing up for interviews.

• Confirmation of Selected Date, Available Positions, etc.
  Once an on-campus interview date has been set, The Career Center will send your organization a confirmation form and a request for all information relevant to the available positions, including requirements with respect to GPA, U.S. citizenship, relocation, etc. We’ll also request quantities of your appropriate informational publications for our library, even though we will urge students to do their own research on your organization.
  
  We do need this information in a timely fashion; it facilitates the promotional activity necessary to attract appropriate candidates to sign up for interviews.

• Resume Collection/Transmission
  With one to two weeks left until the scheduled on-campus interview date, The Career Center will route to you the resumes of candidates expressing formal interest in interviewing with your organization. We will rely on the detailed information you’ve provided to screen out inappropriate candidates.

• Candidate Selection
  Except in the case of open interviews, The Career Center will appreciate receiving your list of “pre-selected” candidates with no fewer than three or four days remaining until the interview date. Pre-selected candidates will have to be scheduled, and it sometimes takes longer than we’d like to accomplish this.

• Interview Schedules
  The Career Center will typically fax or e-mail you the final interview schedule(s) a day or two before the on-campus interview date. Interviews are generally conducted in NAC 4/146, a suite of four adjacent rooms in the North Academic Center (the same building housing The Career Center in NAC 1/116 on the main or lobby floor). Interviewers are asked to report first to The Career Center. They will be escorted to the interview rooms.

• Changes in Interview Schedules/Cancellations
  The Career Center will appreciate your best efforts to furnish us with timely information on necessary changes in interview schedules, cancellations, etc. Our students tend to be very agreeable, but we will certainly need time to contact them in these situations.
  
  We will make every effort to avoid initiating cancellation of a scheduled on-campus interview date. Any delay you experience in receiving resumes from us will generally result from our continuing attempt to inform and attract prospective candidates in instances of low turnout. We will certainly inform you when, in spite of these ongoing efforts, a low turnout of eligible and interested candidates may appear to justify cancellation, post-ponement, or the scheduling of interviews at your location instead.

Resume Referral Program:

Unlike the formality of the on-campus interview process, resume referral is an option continuously available to all employers. While The Career Center is in no position to guarantee continuous availability of candidates for all position announcements received, we will make all reasonable efforts to respond to your requests by transmitting resumes of appropriate candidates registered with us.

• Position Submission Process
  If you are an employer declining to conduct employment interviews on campus, but interested in considering candidates from The City College of New York, you should simply direct all information on available positions to The Career Center, in whatever fashion is most convenient.

• Resume Transmission
  From the resumes submitted by candidates who have also given The Career Center written authorization to refer their resumes, we will route to you those meeting your requirements and preferences, and otherwise appearing to be good matches for your organization and available position(s).

• Candidate Selection/On-Site Interviews
  Feel free to contact directly those candidates in whom you are interested, to make whatever interview arrangements you prefer.

Candidates may not necessarily be aware of your having received their resumes from The Career Center, but we do request that you refer them to us before or after any interview you may have arranged with them.
