Introduction

This guide provides insight about the NYU campus and its student population to assist you with meeting your recruiting goals. We consider our students to be among the best in the nation with both a local and global perspective. While balancing challenging academics at NYU, many students pursue career-related internships in a fast paced urban environment. This affords employers the opportunity to interview qualified, experienced, and well-prepared candidates for challenging careers.

The Wasserman Center is a collaborative office that works to constantly be on the cutting-edge of career services. Our employer initiatives and partnerships are designed to develop the most effective, results driven recruiting strategies possible. We recognize that flexibility and creativity are vital during difficult times, and central to meeting our shared goals. Our diverse, multifaceted services meet individual recruiting needs and streamline the task of identifying and interviewing qualified candidates. Regardless of the job market conditions, the Wasserman Center serves as a vital resource for both students and employers. We do whatever possible to connect you with NYU's accomplished student body and our students with meaningful work through your organizations.

We appreciate your constant support of NYU students, and look forward to continuing to work with you in the future.

NYU Diversity Internship and Career Preparation (D.I.C.P.)

Diversity Employer of the Month

On a monthly basis, employers are "spotlighted" on the diversity web page for their commitment to diversity. Employer selection is based on diversity recruiting efforts at NYU, as well as diversity programming and resources available to their employees.

On-Campus Recruitment Program

New York University has one of the largest and most successful oncampus recruitment programs in the country. A growing list of employers from Fortune 500 companies, non-profit, education, communications and healthcare sectors recruit at NYU. Employers are invited to visit our campus and interview both undergraduate and graduate students from all majors (excluding MBAs and Law students) at the Wasserman Center. To schedule an On-Campus Recruitment (OCR) date and/or an Employer Presentation date, please call (212) 998- 4737 or visit our website.

Interview Schedules

Fall Recruitment begins in September and continues through early December. Spring OCR runs from late January through late April. It is the policy of New York University that all employers interviewing for full-time positions on campus reserve a sufficient number of "bid" interview appointments for qualified candidates that meet their job specification criteria. We are happy to offer complimentary breakfast in the Employer Business Center and lunch at the Palladium Dining Hall for all participants in the On-Campus Recruitment Program. We also have guest passes to access to the Palladium Sports Club and Pool, which is conveniently located in the same building as our offices.

Employer Presentations

We assist employers with making the necessary arrangements to conduct on-campus presentations. There are many industry-oriented student organizations that offer employers co-sponsorship and cooperation in planning these events. It is necessary for employers to make arrangements early to ensure date and space availability (fees apply).
