The advantage<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arrive already known.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Rosen Career Fair is one of the strongest recruiting days in this industry. More than 100<\/strong> employers, over a 1500<\/strong> students and alumni, twice every academic year, at a college built for exactly this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The partners who get the most out of it are the ones students already recognize when they walk in. A familiar name changes the conversation at the table. It starts further along, it goes deeper, and it is still remembered a week later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That recognition is what a partnership builds, across the two years before a student ever reaches the fair.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n What partnership changes<\/span>\n

Be a name they already know.<\/h2>\n

Partnership moves your organization out of a single afternoon and into the two years before it. By the time a student reaches the fair, a partner is not a banner they are meeting. It is a company they have already heard from, worked with, or been taught by.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n

\n \"\"\n
In the room before the room<\/div>\n
Class visits and student organization sessions put your people in front of students in their sophomore and junior years.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n
\n \"\"\n
You shape the teaching<\/div>\n
What partners tell us about the skills they need finds its way into how students are prepared.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n
\n \"\"\n
You see them under pressure<\/div>\n
Competitions, mock interviews and live service show you how someone performs. No booth conversation can.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n
\n \"\"\n
You get the second look<\/div>\n
Employer-in-residence days and site visits let a student experience your operation rather than read about it.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n
\n \"\"\n
Your name carries all year<\/div>\n
Partner recognition runs across Rosen College communications through the whole academic year, not just on the day.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n
\n \"\"\n
You are there for both cycles<\/div>\n
Fall and Spring. Interns in one, graduates in the other, from students who have known you the whole time.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n
\n \"\"\n
Your alumni recruit for you<\/div>\n
Rosen graduates already on your team come back as partners. No recruiter is as credible to a student as someone who sat where they are sitting.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n
\n \"\"\n
You hear about talent first<\/div>\n
We know these students by name and by how they work. Tell us the role you need to fill, and we’ll let you know who fits it.\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

A partner\u2019s year<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What you actually get, month by month.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll build your own level of presence, and we\u2019ll help you build a calendar around your capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
