On-Campus Interviews

We encourage the best practice of posting the job or internship listing as a first step to requesting OCI dates. Although you can request an OCI interview date and be approved before posting the job description on Handshake, students cannot view or apply to the position until it is officially posted. See instructions for posting a job on Handshake.

Note: Delays in posting your OCI job after requesting and confirming an on-site interview date may result in mandatory schedule changes to the selection period and On-Campus interview day.

We accept OCI reservations on a rolling basis. For Preselect-to-Alternate scheduling, we require at least 3 weeks for the application, selection, and interview sign-up process to occur once you’ve posted the position on Handshake. If you require a shorter turnaround time, you can request the 'Room Reservation Only' model to coordinate interviews directly with candidates.

Instructions:

• Log into your Handshake account
• Select Request an Interview from your home page
• Review full instructions from Handshake
• You will receive a confirmation email once your date is confirmed (2-3 business days)
• (For in-person) Due to space constraints, we ask that you please be conservative with your number of room requests

After you post the OCI position on Handshake, the opportunity will be live to students. During the Employer Select Period your resume packet will be available for download on Handshake under Interviews Tab.

During the 3-5 day Primary & Alternate selection period, you review applicants and select your first and second choices. On Handshake, this means changing their status to “Invited”, “Alternate” or “Not Selected”.

Instructions (Review full instructions via Handshake):

• Log in to Handshake and select Interview type
• Click the Review Applicants tab
• Select the students you would like to invite to interview
• Click add students to interview group from drop down menu
• Click create New Group or Add to existing group
• Confirm selection

Please contact the Recruitment Team immediately if you miss the preselect deadline or if you experience difficulty entering your candidate selections.

• Review our Equal Employment Opportunity Statement.

Prior to your interview, we will follow-up with final confirmations. When you arrive at the Wasserman Center for your interviews, please check in at the Recruitment Desk. We will provide you with your interview schedule and resumes for the day, and escort you to your assigned room. Please be prepared to show a photo ID at the security desk.

We require that employers honor all offers made as is, and that no conditions be placed on the offer. Please refrain from pressuring students on acceptances and understand the necessity of letting candidates make an informed decision resulting in truly committed employees. Exploding offers and special incentives, such as diminishing bonuses and location preference, should not be held out to induce a student to accept an offer early. Pressure to accept early makes it difficult for us to enforce our strict policies against students reneging on job offers.

• Employers must give students three weeks to decide about job and internship offers.
• If a summer internship is converted to a full-time offer, students have until October 1 to decide.
• If you do not abide by the above OCI offer policies, your ability to request interview and presentation dates for the following semester may be impacted.

For first round interviews, employers must give students a minimum of 72 hours notice to schedule their interview. This policy also applies to second round interviews conducted on-site, as it allows the NYU Recruitment Team sufficient time to rearrange first round interviews.

All international NYU students are authorized to work in the United States. Learn more about the logistics of recruiting F-1 and J-1 students for jobs and internships.

Please ensure your job description has clear and accurate policies around CPT/OPT/Sponsorship eligibility.

NYU sophomores are not eligible for On-Campus Interviews. The Wasserman Center will not make exceptions for students in the class of 2026 to interview on-campus. Employers who would like to interview sophomores through OCI will be required to conduct external interviews with these candidates.
