After you attend an orientation session you will be given access to your eRecruiting account via a username and password. eRecruiting is the Web-based system used to manage On-Campus Interviewing.

After logging into eRecruiting for the first time you will be asked to update your profile. You will then be able to browse current postings and upload a r�sum� to apply for positions that interest you. The application process, as well as interview scheduling, is handled through eRecruiting. You will receive notification via E-mail if you are accepted or declined for an interview and need to sign up for a time slot. Your application status and interview schedule may be checked at any time by logging into eRecruiting.
