Recruit On-Campus

There are many ways to recruit our students on campus and off. Gonzaga University Career Center & GAMP uses an online recruiting system called ZagTrax powered by NACElink/Symplicity. The first step to recruiting on our campus is to make sure you have a NACElink account. If you don't have a NACElink account, please register by clicking here.

Your company can also be involved in the following ways:

1 . Conduct On-campus Interviews.^

Two Types of On-Campus Interviews:

"Pre-select scheduling", allows employers to preview (preselect) résumés in advance and then select candidates to be interviewed. Please schedule 6 weeks in advance. "Open Scheduling", allows students to sign-up for interview time slots, according to specified criteria, with no previewing option. Please schedule 4 weeks in advance.

On-campus Interviews are held during fall and spring semesters of 2010-2011.

Option 1 - Employer Deadline: 

Please schedule your on-campus interviews a minimum of 4-6 weeks (depending on type of interview) prior to the desired interview date.

A benefit is that your company can meet students face-to-face in a quiet, friendly environment. Other benefits include:

• Diversity of students for entry-level and advanced positions.
• Ability to interview both traditional-aged students and adult learners (5-15 years working experience) from our School of Professional Studies or MBA Programs.

Option 2 - Résumé Collect Program:

Available during Fall and Spring recruiting sessions

Schedule a Résumé Collect:

• Log-in to your NACElink account by clicking here.
