On-Campus Recruiting is a service that brings employers and students together at Loyola for interviews. The majority of interviews are for seniors who will be graduating in January or May of the current academic year. Most employers will be recruiting for entry-level professional positions in their respective fields.

Occasionally, employers also want to recruit interns. These positions are usually targeted at juniors and sometimes sophomores. Usually, employers recruit for spring interns in fall, summer in spring, and fall in summer.

Procedures

Registering:

1. Login to the eRecruiting system.
2. Enter your username and password. Click Login.
3. You must complete all profile information and upload a resume to register for jobs or internships through eRecruiting. For more information on registration procedures, please see the eRecruiting Quick Start Guide.

Requesting interviews:

1. Log into your eRecruiting account.
2. Select Interview Schedules  from the Calendar box.
3. You will see a list of upcoming On Campus Recruiting schedules. Only apply to the jobs or internships for which you are qualified.

Most schedules will require pre-select, which means that select the candidates to interview from the resumes submitted by interested candidates by the job's application deadline. The application deadlines are usually at least a week (usually more) before an interview date. Once a deadline has passed, you cannot be manually added to a pre-selection list. 

Some schedules are open. Open schedules mean that companies will interview all interested candidates who qualify based on job requirements and candidate qualifications. With open schedules, you may sign up for an actual interview time slot at the time that you apply.

Checking the status of your request:

1. Click the Applications tab on the navigation bar.
2. The status of your active applications is displayed in the Employer Decision column. Please check this section regularly after the pre-select due date passes.
3. After an employer has made decisions to accept or decline interview requests, automatic e-mails will be sent to candidates via Experience/eRecruiting.
4. If an employer has accepted your inteview request (job application), you may sign up for an interview slot. Usually there is very little time between their acceptance and the interview date, so you will need to log in to eRecruiting and select your time slot as quickly as possible.
5. On your eRecruiting Applications page, click Details/Sign Up after the company/job listing.
6. On the Application Details page, under Employer Decision, click  Sign up for interview.
7. On the Interview Sign Up page, find the schedule date you would like to sign up for and select the time slot you desire. Make sure that you will be free to attend the interview at that time!  Click Save to reserve that slot.

Requirements

• Please note the Application Deadline date listed on the bottom of a job/internship listing connected with an on-campus interview schedule.  This is the deadline by which you must request an interview with this company. After this date, the employer will be in the pre-select stage and deciding whom they will invite to the interview.
• If you decide that you are no longer interested in interviewing for a position before the employer decision is made, withdraw your application through eRecruiting. 
• Once you sign up for an actual time, you have until 48 hours prior to the interview to change your mind. For example, if a company will be here on Wednesday, you have until Monday to change your decision. This is called the schedule's 48-hour change period.

If you need to cancel within a scheduled interview's 48-hour no-change period, you must call Maureen Smith at 773-508-2878 and the front office at 773-508-7716.

Emergency Cancellation

If there is an emergency so that you cannot attend a scheduled interview that day, please contact Maureen Smith at 773-508-2878.  If she is not available, leave a phone message on her voice mail and call the Career Development Center receptionist at 773-508-7716 so that we can notify the employer.

Ethical Standards

• Sign up for interviews only if you match the listed qualifications.
• Sign up for interviews only when you are are genuinely interested in the position for which the company is interviewing.
• Do not request an interview for a company that is interviewing for a major or career field that does not your own.  If you are interested in interviewing with a particular company but not interested in their published positions, contact Maureen Smith at 773-508-2878.
• These are not practice interviews.  If you take an interview time slot when you are not really interested in the position or company, another student who may really want this position may not get a chance. In addition, if you later decide to apply for a different position at the same company, you may not be considered a serious candidate. If you are interested in practicing interviewing skills, consider mock interviews or setting up a practice interview with a career counselor.
• If you need to cancel your interview, do so prior to the 48-hour no-change period.
• No-shows and same-day cancellations are rude and inconvenient to the employer and may effect the employer's decision to recruit at Loyola. It is also extremely unfair to your fellow and future students. 

No-Show Penalties

• Please write the recruiter a signed letter of apology for the inconvenience you caused and send a copy to the Maureen Smith at the Career Development Center.  Of course, if you want any assistance in composing the note, one of our career counselors will be happy to assist you.
• Failure to submit the letter will result in loss of interviewing privileges and reduction in the level of your eRecruiting status/activity. You will have to meet with the director in order to have privileges restored.
