Alberta School of Business Recruitment Events Information
The Alberta School of Business Career Services office will be adapting it's student/employer engagement and recruitment activities to be held in a virtual format.
Instead of holding company-specific information sessions, the ASB is going to host a series of recruitment events whereby multiple companies will be able to speak with our students during a predetermined time. Essentially, each event will be a smaller targeted virtual career fair, whereby students can be scheduled to have a 10 min video chat with your company representatives either on a one-to-one or one-to-many basis.
Student/Employer Engagement Details
Cost: $100/employer/session
Time: 3pm - 7pm MST
There will be a limit of 25 companies per session.
Any sessions with less than 5 companies registered on August 31 will be cancelled.
Sessions will be marketed toward Alberta School of Business students, however, any UAlberta student will be able to attend. NOTE: University of Alberta Engineering students will be invited to "Get Hired: Consulting"
Student/Employer Engagement Schedule and Registration
Sept 10, 2020: Get Hired: Consulting
Sept 15, 2020: Get Hired: Finance
Sept 17, 2020: Get Hired: Accounting
Sept 22, 2020: Get Hired: Banking

Additional Notes to Employers
The system we are using is Symplicity's CSM Virtual Career Fair Module. The video meetings will be hosted through your own video platform such as Zoom, MS Teams, WebEx, etc. This will ensure that you can use a platform that is internally approved by your own organization.
Students register for and will be able to submit resumes that your representatives can view ahead of time or during the event.
The system allows you to post information and links for the students to view before speaking with your representative.
If possible, it is recommended that you have multiple representatives working at the event.
More information and step-by-step instructions will be sent out to registered companies well in advance of the event.
Organizations are welcome to participate in multiple sessions if their recruitment and engagement need to cross over multiple disciplines.

Employer Participation Statistics
From September 2018 to September 2019 Business Career Services posted a total of 1,800 job postings for over 600 employers.
Note that the volume of job postings does not necessarily reflect the overall activity associated with recruitment by employers on campus. Many companies are far more active on their own with recruitment activities and do not specifically post their jobs on campus sites, or they provide one job posting which directs candidates to their website where a large volume of jobs exist. Our data does not necessarily reflect all the jobs available to our students, as additional jobs may be listed on company websites exclusively.
