Recruiting Options
Whether it’s on campus, virtually, or in New York City, holding informational sessions and/or opportunities with our talent pool is easy and convenient.
Campus Recruiting
The Career Management Center provides a variety of formats and opportunities for companies to connect with students and conduct interviews. We handle the application and interview process from start to finish, allowing you to focus on connecting with a wide array of exceptional talent. We also help manage the communication between students and employers for a process that is easy and efficient for both parties.
Custom Events
We welcome you to visit our campus – we’ll even work with you to create a custom event to connect you with our talent. From networking breakfasts and happy hour events to case competitions, student club collaborations, expert panel discussions, and keynote addresses, we are happy to tailor our offerings to fit your needs.
Can’t make the trip to Rochester, but still interested in putting your company in the Simon spotlight? We are happy to offer Virtual Conferencing options. Schedule an event by contacting Ariel Ruggeri, recruiting and events manager, by email.
Corporate Presentations
Holding a company presentation prior to your interview dates gives you the chance to share information about your corporate culture, employment opportunities, and position requirements. Many companies use these presentations to prescreen candidates before interviews.
Corporate presentations may be held as lunchtime or evening events, and the Career Management Center will handle the details. Past events have included themed networking breakfasts and happy hours, case competitions, locally arranged themed events, charitable connections, student club collaboration, expert panel discussions, and keynote addresses.
Hiring international students
To compete in the global economy, companies need smart, competitively trained, global talent. Simon offers a STEM-designated MBA option — the only such program in the country — providing international students opportunities to extend their 12-month optional practical training (OPT) by an additional 24 months. Each of our MS programs are STEM-designated as well.

- Scheduling
-
Please provide as much notice as possible about dates for information sessions, interviews in Rochester or NYC, virtual interviews, and other engagement so we may provide you with the best assistance, service, and facilities possible.
- Open Access
-
We have a diverse student population and seek whenever possible to open up postings to all our students—MBA and MS, domestic and international. Let us know your specific hiring and recruiting needs and we will ensure the right group or groups are invited and have access to sign-ups, postings, and/or schedules.
- Last-Minute Cancellations
-
As possible, please give us ample warning before cancelling information sessions, interviews in Rochester or NYC, or virtual interviews. Depending on the circumstances we can arrange for interviews and info sessions to be conducted virtually, if plans have changed and your team can’t make it to campus.
- Offers
-
As a general guideline, we ask that all verbal offers be confirmed in writing immediately after being extended. We encourage students to accept offers verbally and in writing.
- Offer-Acceptance Dates
-
As a general guideline, we ask that all full-time offers extended to second-year MBA students [as the result of a summer internship or fall recruiting] be allowed to stand until at least November 15 and, preferably, December 1. This ensures the student(s) have adequate time to consider the offer thoroughly before making such an important life decision.
- Offer Acceptance
-
Students are expected to stop interviewing with other companies once they have accepted an offer. Students are expected to follow through on their commitments and not change their minds about formally accepted job offers. Please alert us if there are any issues with this.
- Professionalism
-
We expect all students and recruiters to act professionally at all times. Should you have any concerns about any interactions you have with our students, please let us know immediately.
