Recruit our Students

UMass Amherst uses Handshake, a free job board and internship platform that employers can use to post a job or internship. This allows students and recent alumni to search and easily apply according to the directions you specify in your job ad.

1. If you don’t have a Handshake account, signing up is free and easy. Click here for a step-by-step process with screenshots – it only takes a few minutes.
2. After signing up with Handshake, be sure to add University of Massachusetts Amherst as one of your schools so you can post jobs to our students and alumni.

Employers, please review our Equal Employment Opportunity guidelines for recruiting.

Isenberg’s dedicated Interview Suite (located in the Douglas and Diana Berthiaume Business Innovation Hub, N207) offers multiple private offices that companies may use for conducting on-campus interviews. It is important to request interview space well in advance to secure your preferred date, as space fills up quickly. Please contact Assistant Director of Employer Relations, Noelle Bieda, at nmenard@isenberg.umass.edu to request on-campus interview space.

Isenberg Career Days 2024 will take place over the course of two days, Tuesday, September 24th and Wednesday, September 25th, from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. in the Campus Center Auditorium at UMass Amherst. Employers may participate on one day only; on-campus interviews will not be scheduled on either day so students may participate in the fair without conflicts. Click here to register for Day 1 (Sept. 24th) or click here to register for Day 2 (Sept. 25th).  

Hold an Information Session (Virtual or In Person)

Holding an information session can be an effective way to enhance your company’s visibility and reputation among students. Employers are encouraged to plan the information session in collaboration with an Isenberg club/organization that targets students interested in their industry or the functional areas for which they are recruiting. Please contact club leadership directly to explore partnership opportunities or email Noelle Bieda to schedule a session through the Office of Career Success.

Host a Meet & Greet Table

Employers may host a table an the Douglas and Diana Berthiaume Business Innovation Hub free of charge (only one day per academic semester, please). Hosting an information table is a great way to increase your company’s name recognition within the school and to have more lengthy conversations with individual students than would be feasible at a career fair type of event. Isenberg will provide a 6-foot table on which company promotional materials and/or snacks may be displayed; recruiters typically reserve a table for a 3-4 hour period. Email Noelle Bieda to schedule a table session.

Schedule “Get to Know 'Your Company Name Here’ Appointments” (Virtual or In Person)

Get to Know "Your Company Name Here” appointments allow interested students to sign up for 20-minute appointments with a designated company representative to ask relevant questions about the job opportunity and the company. It also allows time for the company representative to get to know potential applicants on a one-on-one basis in a structured time period. These appointments are not meant to serve as interviews. Email Noelle Bieda to schedule a date.

Sponsor an Isenberg Industry Trek

Industry Treks are a great way for students to quickly gain a better understanding of professional life in specific companies, industries, and cities. Through company visits and alumni networking opportunities, students enjoy an inside look at the culture and day-to-day work life at top employers. They also learn valuable insights about the hiring process directly from employees who work there. Email Lea Herrick to schedule a trek to your company.

Employers who recruit at Isenberg must adhere to all UMass Amherst Recruiting Guidelines. Employers who knowingly violate UMass Amherst Recruiting Guidelines may be denied access to Isenberg Office of Success facilities and services during the subsequent recruiting season.
