Steps To Recruit HCC Eagles

1. Job Postings: In order to maintain communication with Career & Transfer Services as well as to ensure 95,000+ students have the option of learning about your company, we recommend that employers create profiles and post a co-op/internship and/or job online in HCC CareerHub. We also send notifications regarding upcoming events to employers registered in our database. 
2. Career & Transfer Fairs: Get out of the office and come recruit students directly at our Career & Transfer Fairs! These events take place in the fall and spring semesters and lunch as well as a booth is included in the nominal fee model: $100 - Non-Profit and $125 - For-Profit. Universities are encouraged to register for Transfer Fairs at no cost. Employers and Universities can RSVP in HCC CareerHub. 
   1. Employers and Universities can view the Career & Transfer Fairs Calendar.
3. Interview Schedule: If you are interested in connecting with students directly then our Campus Interview process will be easier for you to locate candidates by scheduling real interviews at the respective Career Center which supports the program(s) you are interested in engaging.
   1. Employers can request Interview Schedules via email - hcc.careerservices@hccs.edu
4. Co-Ops/Internships: Students enrolled in workforce programs are always looking for ways to apply learned skills in a real work environment. We recommend posting your opportunity in HCC CareerHub in order for faculty to review. 
5. Company Info Sessions: Career & Transfer Services has six Career Centers located at each of the main college campuses throughout the HCC system. The Career Centers support the workforce programs mentioned above. The Career Centers are specialized as they specifically host events for and assist employers from industries that hire students enrolled in the relevant workforce program(s) the Career Center supports. Engaging and building a relationship with the staff at the relevant Career Center(s) is vital to any strategic recruiting plan.
6. Transfer: We invite universities to connect with our Transfer Team Members to build strategic partnerships!

EMAIL DISCLAIMER: Career & Transfer Services does not allow employers to conduct business in HCC CareerHub with emails not aligned with the name of the business. Business emails should be aligned with the business name or website.

Career & Transfer Services manages the HCC CareerHub Job Board and has the right to refuse access to any employer or organization.

Employers can log in to HCC CareerHub to perform the following actions:

The first step to recruiting at HCC is creating an employer profile and posting the opportunity online. The job board is accessed by thousands of students/alumni from all of the aforementioned workforce programs. After creating the profile and posting the job, both will be reviewed by a representative from Career & Job Placement Services. If there are concerns regarding the information in the profile or posting then the employer will be notified. The job postings will remain visible for 30-60 days at a time if approved.

Campus Recruitment

We offer the following services to employers interested in recruiting HCC Eagles throughout the year. 

1. Career Fairs - We host Career Fairs in the fall and spring semesters. Employers register for Career Fairs within HCC CareerHub.
2. Recruit Eagles Booth - The Recruit Eagles Booth is similar to what an employer would have at an actual Career Fair. We recommend that employers bring job descriptions, giveaways, and any other pertinent information a student should have in order to learn more about the company. This is a new service provided by Career & Job Placement Services and there is no cost. For now, employers will need to contact the relevant Career Center to register a booth in a high traffic area on campus. 
3. Company Networking Day - This is exactly what it sounds like! This is an opportunity for employers to host their very own Information Session/Career Fair on an HCC campus. In partnership with the respective Career Center(s), employers will be able to reserve a room and the Career Center will actively engage the targeted majors about the Networking Day. We recommend that these types of events are hosted either in the late afternoon or early evening (3 p.m. - 6 p.m.). Employers can plan as they would for a Career Fair as well as make plans to interview candidates that meet minimum requirements for the role. 
4. Campus Interviews - We ask employers to request an interview schedule in HCC CareerHub.

Career & Transfer Services has six specialized Career Centers positioned throughout the HCC system in order to support workforce programs. Below you will find the Career Centers and the programs they support.

HCC Career Fairs are great opportunities to recruit students from around the Houston area! HCC serves 100,000+ students so there are countless opportunities for employers to network and hire students and alumni. We invite all majors to our General Career Fairs while our Industry-Focused Career Fairs are named accordingly so the student will know which industries are invited. We highly encourage you to contact a Career Center on your side of town to find out which Career Fairs they will be hosting.

Our Career Fair Schedule is now available in CareerHub!

Employers can register for HCC Career Fairs in HCC CareerHub.

Purpose

A Recruit Eagles booth is an opportunity for companies/organizations to promote their brand, services, and job opportunities to HCC Eagles anywhere in the Houston City College System. Career & Job Placement Services highly recommends that employers establish Recruit Eagles Booths throughout the year in order to promote brand awareness. We also have provided this service in order to be more conducive to HCC Eagles being hired for roles in the Houston job market.

Agreement

The Recruit Eagles booth can be set up as it would be for a Career Fair with your company banner, signage, giveaways, etc. Your booth will be set up in a designated high-traffic area on the designated/recommended campus(s) and we will notify students about your campus visit well in advance and we can target specific majors you are looking to recruit. We can instruct students to bring their resumes to your booth or we can provide them specific instructions for the hiring process (for example: we can instruct them to apply online before visiting your booth).

By signing this agreement, I understand the Career & Job Placement Services (CJPS) policy for setting up a booth which includes the following:

The company representative must arrive at the time and date requested if confirmed for the table set up. Please come by the Career & Job Placement Services Center location on the campus where the recruiting booth will be located for check-in.

Booth set up is to be between the hours of 10 a.m. through 3 p.m. Monday through Thursday. Due to the high volume of demand for space on our campus, please know that we are asked to be flexible with this space and times allotted above.

A representative from the company must be present at the table the entire time requested in order to assist students and/or answer questions they may have regarding the company. Representative will not post or leave material anywhere other than with the career office. It is against CJPS policy for any outside group to walk on campus soliciting items.

The representative must track each student that visits their booth and supply a copy of the sign-in list to the Career & Job Placement Services Center for record keeping and data tracking.

A Resume Book will be supplied to the representative with the intention that the company engage the students contained in the Resume Book regarding the upcoming recruiting booth and the position(s) the company is interested in filling with HCC Eagles.

If a representative cannot make the confirmed date or you must cancel the setup, please contact Career & Job Placement Services by email hcc.careerservices@hccs.edu as soon as possible.

All employers interested in requesting a Recruiting Booth on a HCC campus are encouraged to submit the request in HCC CareerHub.
