The Career Development Office hosts a variety of events to assist employers in recruiting Yale SOM students. To create a customized recruiting approach that best meets your staffing needs, contact your Relationship Manager. 

Corporate Presentations (Fall 2012)                  

Conducting a presentation on campus is an effective strategy for meeting with students and educating them about career opportunities within your organization. Presentations begin in September prior to the start of fall interviews. We recommend that you deliver your presentation two to three weeks prior to your interview to heighten student awareness of and interest in your firm’s opportunities. Sessions typically begin with a brief presentation by representatives of the company and are followed by a brief Q&A period. Please contact your Relationship Manager to schedule a corporate presentation. For information on catering and A/V resources, download the Handbook for Recruiters (pdf).
