About The Position

We are hiring for a University Campus Recruiter who will work to support and execute summer intern and associate level hiring. This creative and passionate recruiter will have experience in effectively and efficiently collaborating with team members who shape and lead the Summer Intern Program, hiring for rotational development programs and college associate level positions. In addition, you will collaborate with the team to support retention of these new to industry hires. You will also have prior experience in recruiting for a variety of levels and industries while demonstrating the ability to adapt to changing priorities while managing high-functioning recruitment processes.

Within the university recruiting function, responsibilities include attending on-site career fairs, engaging with hiring leaders to discuss recruitment processes, and building relationships with intern candidates.
