Recruiting Opportunities

Recruit candidates for full-time, internships, and externships through our two online recruiting platforms.

• To recruit students from the Bachelor of Science in hotel administration, Master of Management in Hospitality (MMH), and the Baker Program in Real Estate—as well as recent alumni—post in Handshake. Career opportunities appropriate for inclusion in Handshake include internships, summer jobs, full-time jobs, and MMH-focused winter externships. In addition, you may post semester-long opportunities for the undergraduate Management Intern Program. Please note that including a GPA requirement in your posting may prevent first-year undergraduate and graduate students, as well as new transfer students, from applying for the opportunity. If you are posting an internship position for undergraduate or graduate students or a full-time position for MMH students, please consider indicating your GPA preference in the position description but not in the requirements section of the posting.
• To recruit alumni with six-plus years of professional experience, please visit the LinkedIn Cornell SHA Alumni Group.

Employers may host virtual information or webinar sessions during the academic semesters to share information on their company, industry, and career opportunities. Recruiters who are hosting interviews are encouraged to host an information session before their interview date.

If you are considering hosting an information session or webinar, please contact the Career Management team at careers@business.cornell.edu for guidance on identifying an appropriate date. We suggest that you schedule your presentation to be held after 5 p.m. using the Zoom platform as all Cornell students have their own Zoom accounts.

During the academic semesters, employers are able to interview students virtually. To express interest in doing so, please submit your date request and review Cornell Career Services employer policies and procedures.

Request Interview Dates

To express your interest in virtual interviews, please complete the Interview Date Request form, and select SHA as the career office. Once the reservation request is complete, a confirmation via e-mail will be sent, with instructions for arranging a virtual schedule.

A standard interview day is 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m., with two 15-minute breaks and a 1-hour lunch break. Upon request, schedules may be adjusted to add additional interview slots by starting the schedule earlier, removing 15-minute breaks, or shortening the lunch break.

We encourage you to host your interviews using the Zoom platform, as all Cornell students have their own Zoom accounts. If you need assistance with a virtual interview platform please contact the Career Management team at careers@business.cornell.edu.

Upload Your Job Description to Handshake

Once the reservation has been confirmed, employers should post job descriptions online in Handshake and notify the Career Management team at careers@business.cornell.edu. The job postings will only be visible to students once they have been attached to the related interview schedules. It is recommended the postings be uploaded soon after confirmation since students frequently check Handshake postings to gauge fall recruitment activity.

Review Candidates and Select Students for Interview Schedules

Within Handshake, the “Timeline” for the interview schedule outlines resume submission deadline, timeframe for review of applications, and candidate sign-up dates. Recruiters should select primary and alternate candidates at least 48 hrs hours prior to the primary sign-up start date indicated in the Handshake Timeline. Indicate “Make Primary” for all students desired (or chosen) for interviews. The number of “primary” candidates should match the total number of interview slots*. In addition, select at least five “alternate” candidates. The selection of alternates will ensure a full interview schedule.

*30-minute interviews=13 interview slots, 45-minute interviews=9 slots, 60-minute interviews=6 slots.

Changes to the Interview Schedules or Application Review Time

Although Handshake allows employers to directly make changes to interview schedules, it is preferred that the Career Management Center makes the requested changes. This process will prevent potential conflicts with competing interview schedules. Changes can only be made prior to the selection of primary candidates.

Application submission deadlines can be extended but doing so will shorten the review period for employers. Candidate sign-up times cannot be changed.

We are evaluating the need to host a virtual Career Fair in addition to our in-person fairs for the 2022–2023 academic year. Employer participation will continue to be invitation-only for all career fair events.

In the fall semester, the Nolan School of Hotel Administration will be hosting the following events in-person:

• Real Estate Career Fair: September 20, 2022
• Hospitality Career Fair: October 25, 2022

In the spring semester, we host a combined Hospitality and Real Estate Career Fair.

Please contact Jamie Calabris, career management events & marketing coordinator, at ha-hscd@cornell.edu to express interest in attending.

An Atrium Company Showcase is an excellent way to meet students while generating interest in your company’s career opportunities. Whether you are a new or returning employer, you will find this informal setting to be a helpful part of your recruiting strategy. Showcases take place in the Statler Hall World Atrium during the academic year. One six-foot table is provided per employer and participants are welcome to bring floor-model display items.

To schedule a showcase, please contact the Career Management team at careers@business.cornell.edu.

In the fall semester, the Nolan School of Hotel Administration will be hosting the following in-person events:

• Real Estate Career Fair: September 20, 2022
• Hospitality Career Fair: October 25, 2022

In the spring semester, we host a combined Hospitality and Real Estate Career Fair. These events offer an opportunity for companies to share information about their organization, industry, and career opportunities. Nolan School career fairs are open to undergraduate and graduate students who are interested in all facets of hospitality, real estate, finance, and consulting.

Please note that employer participation is by invitation only. Please contact Jamie Calabris, career management events & marketing coordinator, at ha-hscd@cornell.edu to express interest in attending. If you wish to recruit students from Cornell’s other colleges and schools, consider attending a Cornell Career Services Career Fair.

Employers may host information sessions during the academic semesters to share information on their company, industry, and career opportunities. Recruiters who are hosting on-campus interviews are encouraged to host an information session prior to their on-campus interview date.

If you are considering hosting an information session, please contact the Career Management team at careers@business.cornell.edu for guidance on identifying an appropriate date. Venue arrangements are the responsibility of the recruiting organization and should be made as far in advance as possible, as meeting space is limited and fills quickly. We suggest that you schedule your presentation to be held after 5 p.m. Contact the Statler Hotel Sales Office at 800.541.2501 to reserve space and to make any arrangements for catering and equipment. For more information, please visit the Statler Hotel website.

Employers interested in assisting students with their career development may offer to participate in Employer in Residence activities. Traditional career-focused activities include mock-interviews, resume reviews, individual appointments with students, and small-group career conversations. To express interest in this program, please contact Jamie Calabris, coordinator of events and marketing.

During the academic semesters, employers are able to interview on campus. To express interest in doing so, please submit your date request and review Cornell Career Services employer policies and procedures.
