Recruiting Events

Office Hours

New this year, Office Hours are HBS coordinated individual or small group sessions held on-campus. These scheduled meetings allow companies to meet with second-year students in assigned Spangler project rooms. Office Hours can be scheduled through Career Hub and companies can choose from the following time slot durations:

• 15 minutes
• 20 minutes
• 30 minutes
• 45 minutes
• 60 minutes

Companies may initially request up to two rooms per day, as room availability varies. Spangler project rooms seat 6 people, with a maximum capacity of 10 people. Please refer to the recruiting dates for available days. Rooms are available on Mondays & Wednesdays from 1:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. and Tuesdays & Thursdays from 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.

Student sign-ups will be coordinated by HBS, through Career Hub. Students will sign-up for a time slot that does not interfere with their class schedule, thus maximizing attendance. Companies have the opportunity to reach out to students prior to the meeting to request student resumes and/or provide preliminary company information.

Networking Night

Networking Night is an opportunity for companies who are looking to build their brand on-campus. This targeted recruiting event allows companies to connect with a large number of second-year students in a more engaged environment. Registered companies will be assigned a high-top table in the campus ballroom, where they will be able to meet and greet with students over wine and hors d'oeuvres. Please note companies may choose to participate in Networking Night or host an off-campus company presentation; however, companies may not participate in both.

• 25+ organizations from a variety of industries
• Date: September 19, 2012, 6:00 p.m. - 7:30 p.m.
• Career & Professional Development will provide all company signage
• Office Hours on this day will only be available to companies participating in Networking Night

Company Presentations (Off-Campus)

Company Presentations provide an excellent opportunity for a company to educate students about everything from the corporate culture to opportunities that exist for MBA students. Off-campus presentations for second-year students may begin on September 10th, 2012. All off-campus presentations must be approved through MBA Career & Professional Development and may not begin before 5:30 p.m. Please note companies may choose to have an off-campus company presentation or participate in the Networking Night event; however, companies cannot participate in both. On campus presentations for second-year students will not be offered this year.

• Presentations may not conflict with MBA Career & Professional Development-sponsored events.
• Off-campus presentations will be approved for 1.5 hours.
• Companies are responsible for managing all off-campus logistics.

Other Recruiting Events

There are other ways to educate students about your company culture, career opportunities and recruiting practices. Examples of other recruiting events include content (non-recruiting, educational) presentations, receptions, coffee chats and dinners. Regardless of location and sponsor (including clubs and sections), recruiting events must be approved by MBA Career & Professional Development and adhere to our recruiting policies and guidelines.
