We provide undergraduate, graduate, and post doctoral students the opportunity to submit electronic resumes to positions for which they qualify, and to interview with employer organizations in our office.  This process is powered by Experience (known on campus as Cornell CareerNet).

Each year we host 200+ employers who conduct over 6,000 interviews with more than 1,800 students for full-time, intern and Co-op positions.

Job descriptions are posted internally online via Cornell CareerNet, which is powered by the web-based system: Experience's eRecruiting. 

Students can view positions and, if they meet the requirements, submit resumes electronically to those of interest.  After the resume submission deadline has passed, employers view the resumes submitted and choose students they would like to interview by making them “accepts” (accepted for interview).  An accepted student can then sign up for an interview time slot electronically online.  Employers can monitor the sign up process in real time.  Employers are strongly encouraged to select additional students as "alternates", who may sign up for any unclaimed interview time-slots still available a few days prior to the interview day.

On-campus interviews typically occur late September through early December and from late January through mid-March.  The majority of interviews for full time hires takes place during the Fall semester for students graduating in January and May.  Recruiting for Co-op students occurs in February for work terms that start in September.  The majority of Spring recruitment is for Summer Interns, although some interviews for full time positions also occur during this time.

On-Campus interviews for engineering students take place in 201 Carpenter Hall, the administrative and library building for the College of Engineering, located on Campus Road on the Engineering Quad. 

Reservations for On-campus events can be made starting in May of each year for the entire upcoming recruiting season.

To set up an On-Campus Event you need an Experience account (free of charge).  If you are not sure whether your organization has an existing account you can contact Experience at: 1-800-583-7741.  To link your eRecruiting account to Cornell you will need to call 607-255-6922 or email EmployerRelations@cornell.edu

2. Complete Interview Confirmation Form (ICF)

3. Managing Your Event

Once your event has been ‘Approved’ by our office, students can begin submitting resumes.  You will also see that the “Trigger Dates” have been adjusted; these dates let you know the deadline for students to submit their resumes and your deadline to enter “accepts” (students you accept for an interview).   To request any changes, please contact the Recruiting Coordinator.

You can view your job description, note the trigger dates, and view submitted resumes (as well as cover letters and transcripts if you selected these to be submitted-you should be aware that requiring these items may result in fewer submissions). 

After the resume submission deadline has passed you can begin making students “Accepts” (first choice to interview) or “Alternates” (second choice).  You are encouraged to preselect as many students as you have interview times available and at least 4 alternates.  Note: 30 minute interviews=13 interview slots, 45 minute interviews=9 slots, 60 minute interviews=6 slots.  Upon request we are sometimes able to adjust your schedule to fit in an extra interview by starting your interviews earlier and removing your 15 minute breaks.  (A standard interview day is 8:30am-4:30pm, with two 15-minute breaks and a 1-hour lunch break)

You can use the eRecruiting system to e-mail your 'accepted' students to inform them of your interest, to encourage them to sign up for an interview time, invite them to your information session/presentation, to request that they complete applications on your website or to bring certain additional materials to the interview.

You can also view your Interview Schedule as it fills in real time.  If you wish to make changes to your schedule (Change start/end times, interview length, etc), please contact the Recruiting Coordinator prior to entering your 'accepts'.

Job Postings

A Job Posting is set up much like an On-Campus Event, except that an interview schedule will not be attached to your job description.  Jobs may be posted through eRecruiting for Cornell Students at no charge and there is no limit to the number of jobs you can post.  Simply log into your eRecruiting account and enter your job descriptions for Cornell.
