Employer Sessions
Recruiting & Branding Events
Coffee Chat
If this is your first time on campus, we recommend you consider a coffee chat. This informal drop-in style type of event is popular with our students. We typically arrange a high traffic area, typically in our student center. You are provided with a 6ft table for setup, and we will bring a kiosk for checking students in.
In terms of your table/area, we encourage you to bring your organizational brand in order to fill the space. Some recommendations include swag for giveaways, branded linen, marketing collateral, product displays, and/or treats.
Post-event, we will email your representative(s) an attendance list, complete with resumes if desired. Coffee chats can be scheduled at any time throughout the day. We recommend a 2-3 hour time slot. There is no fee for a coffee chat.
Connection Session
As a networking/recruiting event, these more formal TED-style talks or small group discussions are popular with our students as it is a way to engage with employers as fellow educators. Employers who have established a brand on our campus benefit from hosting a connection session as students are already familiar with their organization and maybe curious about industry trends/professional development or are interested in listening to top-level executives from the company speak. Topics that students are unable to look up online with relation to the organization are always recommended, as this may promote increased attendance. Session times are scheduled after classes at 6:00 pm, although some afternoon times are also available as well as full-day sessions. Post-event, we will email your representative(s) an attendance list, complete with resumes if desired. There is no fee for a connection session.
Employer in Residence
- Help students prepare competitive application materials

Time commitments are flexible, ranging from a single 2-hour session to weekly full-day engagements throughout the academic year. This program is ideal for alumni and hiring managers to connect with the next generation of leaders. There is no fee to participate as an Employer in Residence.
On-Campus Interview
On-Campus Interview (OCI) space is available on the 2nd floor of Stearns Center (GPS address: 420 Huntington Ave, Boston MA, or Building #37 on our campus map) weekdays from 8:30 am – 5 pm. Recruiting space is unavailable on holidays, or during the reading period and final exams (academic calendar). Employers may arrive by 8:30 am to prepare for their day.
To participate in an OCI, we require employers to register on NUworks. Once approved as a NUworks employer, employers can complete the On-Campus Interview request form found on the NUworks dashboard. When completing the form, please:
- Input a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd choice for OCI dates
- Input preferred time (Morning, Afternoon, or Full Day)
- Input Job ID number for the OCI position
Off-Campus Connection
These are for any on-ground events that do not happen on the Northeastern campus. If you are planning an event off-campus, consider requesting an off-campus connection so we can share it with our students!
Virtual Events
Our primary campus events can all be recreated virtually. We provide a unique ZOOM link for your event and promote it directly to students. Give a presentation, answer questions, and connect with students from any one of our global or regional campuses. Virtual events are a great way to increase access to your candidate pool without leaving your office. We’ll provide a list of attendees after each event.
