If you want to engage with students about your organization and employment needs, read below for branding and recruitment options. The opportunities listed below may not be available due to staffing availability.

Fees may be associated with the following recruitment opportunities for employers who are not an employer sponsor or participate in a career fair.
Employers who are not in compliance with University policies will be asked to leave the event they are attending and/or not allowed to participate in future Nevada Career Studio events.
Career and internship fairs provide you a convenient opportunity to meet with motivated and skilled students and alumni. Fairs are an excellent way for organizations to gain visibility among students, maximize recruiting efforts for a range of opportunities and build connections for future hiring needs.
Information sessions give employers the opportunity to connect with students and share more about their organization, available positions and what it is like to work on their team. Benefits of hosting an information session include:
- Building brand awareness on campus
- Connecting directly with students
- Promoting your current and future opportunities
Information sessions are typically one hour and may include:
- 30-45 minutes of presentation
- 15-30 minutes of Q&A
In-person information sessions
Employers interested in hosting an in-person event should complete our Interest Form. In-person events are reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
Virtual information sessions
Employers can post an event on their Handshake account. Once you create your virtual event on Handshake, email us at careers@unr.edu and the Nevada Career Studio will review your virtual event for approval.
Promote your opportunities to students by tabling in a high-traffic area on campus. Meet with students in a casual drop-in setting and share details about your organization, current openings and upcoming opportunities. You can answer questions, distribute materials, and encourage students to apply or follow up.
Tabling is a great option for employers looking to
- Build brand awareness
- Connect with students across majors
- Have one-on-one conversations without the structure of a formal presentation.
- What: A discussion for students to hear from recruiters and leaders to gain insight on interviewing, networking, and negotiating. An opportunity for students to learn more about organizations, employees’ professional journeys, and “pro tips.”
- Who: Any professional who is interested to share their knowledge and expertise with our students
- When: In order to plan accordingly, this recruitment event can take place mid-semester.
- Why: To connect with students while sharing helpful tools, resources, information, and tips that raise awareness about industry trends, companies and organizations, and best practices.
- How: Email careers@unr.edu to be added to our database of employers.
- What: Conduct one-on-one or panel interviews with À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ, Reno students in a convenient on-campus location.
- Who: Employers participating in a Nevada Career Studio-sponsored recruiting event, such as a career fair, information session, or pop-up tabling event.
- When: Interview space is available on a first-come, first-served basis and subject to campus room availability. Requests should be submitted at least three weeks in advance. To accommodate as many employers as possible, interview room reservations are typically limited to up to four hours and may be adjusted based on space availability.
- Why: Provide students with a convenient location to meet with employers and continue the recruiting process after engaging at a campus event.
- How: Email careers@unr.edu with your preferred interview dates, times, and recruiting event participation details. The Nevada Career Studio will coordinate available space on your behalf.
