Hire-A-Hawk Partnership Opportunities
Here are ways in which you can partner with Hilbert to benefit your organization, Hilbert students and alumni:
- Post Jobs and Internships
The Hilbert College Career Center posts full-time, part-time, summer or internship opportunities using Working Hawks powered by Purple Briefcase. Simply contact kmartoche@hilbert.edu to request the Hilbert College school code with which you can directly connect with us. Once you have this code simply create an employer account at Purple Briefcase to list your openings and when prompted to “request access,” select Hilbert College. We highly encourage organizations to post positions themselves for more immediate release to students/alumni. You can also email job, internship, and volunteer postings to workinghawks@hilbert.edu and we will post it for you on Working Hawks powered by Purple Briefcase.
- Tabling and Interviewing
The Career Center offers opportunities for employers to set up a recruitment table on campus in some of our heaviest trafficked areas. We can also arrange for a space on campus for employers to conduct interviews with our students and alumni. To reserve a date, please contact Katie Martoche at kmartoche@hilbert.edu.
- Signature Events
Throughout the school year the Career Center hosts and co-sponsors a variety of signature events such as the annual Involvement/Part-Time Jobs Fair each September and the annual Jobsapalooza event sponsored by the Western New York Associate of College Career Centers of which we are a member. You are encouraged to take part in one of these well-established programs and others for campus-wide publicity and broad exposure to students and recent graduates.
- Host a Customized Workshop
Employers are welcome to participate in an existing workshop, or create their own. Resume do’s and don’ts, interviewing tips, and how to conduct an effective job search are just a few of the topics that we want our students to know about. Hearing directly from employers about what the “real world” is looking for in an employee, and best practices on how to conduct yourself as a professional, is invaluable to our students.
