Recruiting Methods


We are determined to meet employers wherever they are in the recruiting process.  Therefore, we have various processes to assist you in accessing our talented students. Our e-recruiting software, custom-named USC JobMate, facilitates this for you: 

On-Campus Recruiting


Interviewing

Traditional method for employers to visit campus personally to meet pre-selected candidates using the following steps and ideal timeline:

  • 4 weeks prior to interview date, students view your job descriptions as posted via our software, USC JobMate.
  • 3 weeks prior, resumes of students who have applied for YOUR position(s) are sent to you via e-mail.
  • 2 weeks prior, you let us know names of candidates you wish to interview and students sign-up for timeslots.  

Standard 45-minute schedule = 9 interviews per day 

Standard 30-minute schedule = 13 interviews per day

Interviews begin at 8:30 a.m. unless a different start time is requested. 


In addition, telephone or video-conference screening is available.

  

Information Sessions and Receptions

Interest-Generating Sessions

This type of information session/reception is usually scheduled 4-5 weeks prior to an on-campus interview date. The purpose is to introduce your available positions to targeted students.  This is especially important in creating campus awareness, if on-campus recruiting has not occurred in the past.

Pre-Interview Sessions

Many employers prefer to conduct information sessions/receptions the night before an interview date. This helps you tell your story one time, so interview time is better spent on the candidates.  

To schedule your on-campus recruiting event , please click here, create an account (pre-paid/free of charge to you) or log-in to your existing account  and complete our On-Campus Recruiting Request or contact Leanne Mallach at Leanne@moore.sc.edu or by telephone at 803-777-1762.

Resume Collections

We know it is not always feasible to schedule an actual visit to campus.  In these situations, we invite employers to request a Resume Collection. 

To request a resume collection/post your available position(s), please click here, create an account (pre-paid/free of charge to you) or log-in to your existing account and complete our "Non On-Campus Recruiting" Request (Non OCR) or contact Leanne Mallach at Leanne@moore.sc.edu or by telephone at 803-777-1762.

Positions are posted in our on-line recruiting system, USC JobMate and students "apply", if interested.  Resumes are downloaded and sent to you in one bundle or candidates can reply directly to an e-mail address or URL, whichever you prefer.  

Resume Searches

Another method of talent sourcing is the Resume Search. This involves building a search for current students and alumni who meet your specific requirements.  You can create an account in  USC JobMate, from which unique searches can be conducted, such as concentration area, unique skills sets, language proficiency, and other criteria and resumes may be downloaded.  If you prefer, we can complete this search on your behalf.  For more information, please contact Leanne Mallach at Leanne@moore.sc.edu or by telephone at 803-777-1762.

In summary, please know that our primary objective is to provide superior service while accommodating the specific needs and requests of our valued employers. We look forward to partnering with YOU as you source your leadership talent for the future.
