Recruitment
Employer Guide
Our Employer Guide was created to serve as a useful tool for organizations wanting to begin recruiting at Georgia Southern and increase their brand awareness. You’ll find information about our university and its programs, our career fairs and events, and our recruitment policies and best practices.
To get started, reach out to one of our Employer Relations team members or connect with us on Handshake.
Attend a Career Fair
Each semester the Office of Career and Professional Development hosts multiple career fairs, events and programming to assist employers in connecting with students and alumni. To register or for more information about these events, log in to Handshake or visit our Recruitment Events page.
Host an Event
Information Sessions
Information Sessions are a great tool for new employers recruiting on campus as well as companies who are familiar with Georgia Southern University to reach qualified candidates. Info sessions are designed to give candidates basic company information, e.g. demographics, culture, future organizational plans, job information, benefits and company history.
Information Session Tips:
- Information Sessions can typically be held in a variety of locations across the Georgia Southern campuses. The Employer Relations team will work to find the best location with a room that fits your needs. To best serve you, please indicate needs such as technology, size, etc.
- In order to market your information session to students, the Office of Career and Professional Development can advertise on our website, through social media and a variety of other mediums campus-wide. For more information, please visit our Increase Brand Awareness page.
- While any style of presenting is acceptable for your information session, previous employers have found success in relaxed, informal conversations with students.
- Food is a great way to spark more interest in your information session. While we do not require that employers provide snacks, food service can be coordinated through Georgia Southern catering or through a local restaurant. For a list of accommodating restaurants please contact the Assistant Director of Employer Relations.
