Employer Services

The University Career Center (UCC) offers many virtual and in-person recruiting options for employers to build their organization’s visibility on campus. Below we have listed some of our standard offerings, but we’re always open to custom requests as well. For inquiries, please reach out to the Employer Relations team at recruit@utdallas.edu.

Information Sessions

This is a very effective way to market your organization to students and provide information about any open job or internship positions you may have. Info sessions can be hosted anytime throughout the academic year, but must be scheduled at least two weeks in advance. though we encourage scheduling the event as soon as possible to leave ample time to promote the event and encourage attendance. Cancellation of scheduled info sessions must be made at least three (3) business days prior to the event.

Interviewing

We can help you facilitate interviews through in-person interview rooms or Microsoft Teams virtual rooms. All such interviews will be scheduled using Handshake’s interview schedule tool. If you would like help setting up your interview events please reach out to us at recruit@utdallas.edu.

Scheduling Interviews
  1. Set a date – Typically on-campus recruitment occurs September through November and February through April. However, employers are invited to recruit throughout the year at UT Dallas. To reserve a virtual/on-campus interview date, contact the University Career Center at least two weeks before your desired date to allow plenty of time to complete all steps of the process.
  2. Provide a Job Description – After the date has been reserved, you will work through Handshake, the University Career Center’s online recruiting database, to complete a schedule request form. On this form, employers will provide a detailed job description and screening criteria.
  3. Choose an Interview Option – There are various options for selecting your candidates. Below are our most popular interview options:
    1. Pre-Select Schedule – Students who meet the job requirements can submit an interview request by submitting a resume. Employers review interview requests and make decisions on all interview candidates. Accepted candidates must wait to sign-up for an interview once the sign-up date is reached. *This is the most common and popular option.
    2. Rooms Only – The employer will be making their own interview schedule (for example, from a career fair). This is to simply reserve a virtual interview room. Resume submissions via Handshake are not needed.
Interviewing Policies

Only UT Dallas students and alumni who are registered with the UT Dallas University Career Center through the Handshake system are permitted to participate in the on-campus interviewing program. Since students must have an account with Handshake to view your on-campus schedule, encourage all UT Dallas students you wish to interview to register for an account.

Mock Interviews

Mock interviews are held each semester to give students the opportunity to practice their interviewing skills with real industry professionals. Students are given feedback on their resume and how to improve their interviewing skills, so employers can be directly involved in prepping students. All scheduled mock interview dates are listed in the events calendar.

Career Fairs

Our career fairs bring together students, alumni and employers for networking, recruiting and career conversations. We host a variety of virtual and in-person career fairs utilizing the Handshake platform in order to gain exposure to the entire student population. All scheduled career fairs are listed in the events calendar.
