Select Target Audience

Select the target audience for your job posting, only targeting one audience per posting:

Jobs targeting both current MBA students and Alumni need to be posted separately. For information about recruiting HBS Alumni, please visit the Alumni Recruiting website.

Narrow the scope of your posting one step further by indicating "Full-time" or "Summer Internship."

Select a recruiting season. During the transition between academic years (summer months), you'll have the option to select either the current or future year. Once the academic year is in-session (as of August 14th), the system will default to the current year.

Next, provide contact information for the position itself. This information will be included in the job posting, and will be viewable to the target audience. All contact information fields are required.

Provide information about Candidate Work Authorization based on the detailed descriptions.

If interviewing during a Dedicated Interview Period (Oct. 26-29 or Feb. 16-18), please set the resume deadline as September 30, 2009 for full-time positions and January 19, 2010 for internship positions.
