Whether you host your own event or attend a Berkeley Haas-sponsored event, we invite you to get to know our students by connecting with them through well strategized recruiting activities.
If you have specific positions available in your company at any time during the year, we recommend you post those roles at no cost on 12Twenty(opens in a new tab) for viewing by the Berkeley Haas community. MBA students and alumni are seeking immediate hire, post-graduate positions, summer internships, part-time jobs and project work. If you choose to hold CMG-managed interviews on campus, we can help with all of your logistical needs including scheduling and hosting interviews.
Talk to your (CMG) relationship manager for the best strategy to find talent, and once you know your plans, request all company chats, presentations, other relevant engagement activities, and interviews through 12Twenty.
Recruiting Events
Company Chats
Also known as “office hours,” company chats give you an opportunity to listen to students’ interests and talk to them about your company in an informal setting. Many companies choose these chats as a way to meet in small groups and dive deeper in 1:1 conversations with interested students. Company chats can be held on campus or virtually with no cost to participate. You can create your own schedule within our suggested time frames below and invite students to sign up to meet with you.
- Mon-Thurs, all times listed in PST
- 12:00 – 2:00pm or 4:00 – 6:00pm (times can be adjusted within these frames)
Company Presentations
Hosting a company presentation is one way to educate students about your organization. If you and your relationship manager determine that a company presentation is an optimal strategy for your firm, we will help you find the best time that fits your needs. Typically, the best times based on student availability are:
- Mon-Thurs, all times listed in PST
- 12:00 – 1:00pm
- 1:00 – 2:00pm or
- 5:00 – 6:00pm
Networking Nights
CMG hosted Networking Nights are an efficient and cost-effective way to meet face-to-face with students from our Full-time and Evening & Weekend MBA programs, as well as alumni. Invitations to participate in these events are tailored to the industry each supports. Please reach out to your relationship manager if you are interested in learning more.
Interviewing our students
CMG staff can help you determine the best recruiting plan for you and should you choose to interview on campus, assist with logistical needs including scheduling and communicating with students, tracking the application and selection process in our system, and recommending ways to be successful recruiting MBAs. To guide your scheduling, please refer to the Recruiting Calendar.
Build Your Brand with Student Clubs
With over 50 student organizations at Berkeley Haas, there are many opportunities for you to identify, target, and get to know students with specific interests.
Many of these clubs have an obvious industry focus which allows you to target groups by career interests. We encourage you to also consider working with some of the affinity group clubs that might reflect your values or brand. Reach out to your relationship manager to find out how to get connected with student leadership.
Site Visits or Treks
Inviting a group of students to your workplace is an efficient way to communicate the quality of your opportunities as well as of your company’s culture. These site visits are usually arranged by the industry clubs.
Featured Speaker
Students organize career-focused courses that require corporate participation to succeed. Representatives from your company can lead a case, offer timely insight into a real business problem, or share current research.
Conference Participation
One of the best ways to increase your presence among Berkeley Haas students is to participate in one of our many student-led conferences or events. With the support of the school, our students organize major conferences, including:
- Africa Business Forum
- Berkeley Finance Conference
- Haas Healthcare Conference
- Women in Leadership Conference
- BERC Energy Summit
