The Employer Networking & Information Session (EIS) Program allows you to meet and build connections with high-caliber students from various disciplines. Request your virtual session on Handshake at least two weeks in advance, and provide a detailed event description, including your targeted student audience. Virtual information sessions may occur year-round, are free of charge, and you can invite multiple Handshake schools to participate.

Due to space and staffing limitations, we have a very limited capacity to offer in-person sessions Monday-Thursday during the fall and spring semesters. These sessions are limited to Knights of the Round Table (KoRT) partners and portfolio organizations. Room and equipment rental fees may apply. The primary locations for these events are:

• Busch Student Center
  (604 Bartholomew Road, Piscataway, NJ 08854)
  Seminar Room - 40 Capacity / Theater-Style Seating
• Gateway Transit Village
  (106 Somerset Street, 4th Floor)
  Seminar Room - 80 Capacity / Theater-Style Seating

Please direct any questions to Toni Berlingieri, Assistant Director, Networking Sessions and Interviewing Programs.

The Interviewing Program (IP) at Rutgers University-New Brunswick allows you to recruit high caliber students from a variety of disciplines. Interviews for full-time hires, interns, and co-ops take place for 10 weeks in the fall and 10 weeks in the spring. 

Utilizing Rutgers Handshake, our program is a pre-select system, so you only choose those candidates whom you want to interview. The process typically takes four weeks to complete from the initiation of your position posting to the interview day. We can accommodate those employers who are trying to fill an opening quickly by modifying our standard time-frame and offering customized solutions to your recruiting needs.

The Intern For a Day program offers employers a platform to provide early education to students on what it means to work in various job and organization types through tours, job shadowing, presentations, informational interviews, and panel discussions.

All employers with approved Handshake accounts are welcome to participate in Intern for a Day. We hope you will agree this program is mutually beneficial. Employers have the opportunity to review what they really look for during intern and entry-level recruiting, explaining required job proficiencies. They will help students develop soft skills and grow their learning and networking communities while simultaneously building their brand, supporting diversity or other initiatives, and creating a foundation for mentoring and future hiring.

Career Exploration and Success offers mentoring programs designed to connect students to alumni industry experts. Whether the relationship is deemed formal or informal, the goal of mentoring is to provide career advice as well as both professional and personal enrichment.
