Register for Campus Recruiting

« Employer

Campus Recruiting allows organizations to conduct interviews, resume collections, coffee chats, resume reviews, and more virtually or in-person in a one-on-one capacity with students from all majors during the fall and spring semesters for full-time salaried and paid internship opportunities. Campus Recruiting utilizes connectSC, by collecting resumes of qualified candidates and connectSC’s time scheduling feature to coordinate your meetings. This program is complimentary for employers.

“Despite a change to the virtual recruiting environment and being a new Recruiter this school year, the Career Center has been a great resource to connect with USC students [through Campus Recruiting].”– Peace Corps

“I think [Campus Recruiting] is one of the most organized and best run programs. The Career Center is responsive and very helpful.”– Simon-Kucher & Partners

Coffee Chats

Coffee Chats allow you to provide information about your organization and openings currently available to students in a more casual, one-on-one setting.  These meetings range from 20 – 30 minutes. Since we want you to meet the desired student demographic, we need to know the preferred qualifications (degree, major, class year and visa sponsorship) ahead of time, allowing us to send a special invitation email to students with information on how to sign up. The coffee chats/office hours student signups are on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Once the interviews and coffee chats are scheduled through connectSC, you can conduct the sessions virtually, using whichever video platform available to you, or in-person. 

To request a Coffee Chat:

  • Click on “OCR” → “Schedules” → “Request a Schedule” → “Open” 
  • Attach a job description of what you will be discussing in your chats.
  • Include your preferred qualifications.
