Employer Guide
Benefits of Recruiting at WeatherheadPersonalized Service At Weatherhead we promise to give employers the attention and service they deserve. We take the time to understand the needs of each employer and share best recruiting practices to maximize your outcome. We want employers to know that they are a priority and we work our hardest to prove it. State of the Art Recruiting Facilities Weatherhead is housed in the Peter B. Lewis Building designed by the world renowned architect, Frank Gehry, on the most wired campus in the country. What this means for our employers is access to state of the art technology such as video and teleconferencing capabilities to conduct information sessions, company presentations and interviews. Each interview room is equipped with internet access and phones. Access to Alumni List that Represent your Company/Organization Alumni are some of our best assets at Weatherhead and for our employers. We encourage you to engage our Alumni during the recruiting process. As a result, we are happy to provide you with a list of our alumni who work at your organization. Alumni are not only familiar with you as their employer but also eager and able to help you navigate the college campus. Alumni can assist you with identifying and networking with key faculty and student organizations who can assist you with increasing your organization’s visibility, spreading the word about specific career and internship opportunities, and quickly identifying candidates who are a fit for your organization. Easy Access to the Talent Pool Quality Candidates Because of Weatherhead’s selective Admission’s process, we have already created a group of qualified candidates. The availability of our students extends far beyond full-time employment. Weatherhead students are also available for short-term projects and internships. Internships have consistently proven to be a cost effective way of evaluating a potential employee. On-campus Interviewing Faculty Referrals Smaller class sizes enable the faculty to develop a personal relationship with their students. As a result, the faculty members are able to refer candidates who are a fit for your organization. We are happy to arrange meetings with our faculty when you visit campus. Learn more about our faculty, their areas of specialty and research and contact information.
On-Line Recruiting Electronic Recruiting and Job Posting Electronic job posting and recruiting is another highly beneficial service that Weatherhead offers. Through our on-line system, the Weatherhead CareerLink, employers are able to quickly sort through student resumes and identify which students would be good candidates to interview. Weatherhead CareerLink enables students to search for companies and job postings that appeal to them. This in effect creates a larger applicant pool for a company since more students will be researching their organizations. To access the job posting please visit: https://wsom-case-csm.symplicity.com/employers Opportunity to Leverage Your Visibility On Campus Introduction to Student Leaders/Organizations There are many student organizations representing both functional and specialty areas of business. Our current employers find connecting with our student leaders an effective tool to increase their visibility with the student body beyond the traditional interview process. Through their involvement with student organizations, employers are able to observe student leaders who demonstrate strong interpersonal skills, creativity and the ability to lead. Opportunities to connect include club panel discussions and event sponsorships. Mentor Program The opportunity to mentor students can prove to be an excellent way to evaluate the caliber of students, identify potential intern and career candidates, and offer your employees an opportunity to test their advisory and feedback skills. We match MBA and other graduate business candidates with executives and managers who help to focus the student’s academic and career interests. This allows you to build a bridge to the Weatherhead Community and influence the learning experience of those students who may join your organization. Corporate Partnerships Weatherhead offers a unique perspective to employers by facilitating access to case competitions, executive forums, panels and classes. We know that employers want the opportunity to meet students in “their element", not solely in an interview atmosphere. As a result, Weatherhead promotes several events where students and employers can talk with one another on an informal basis. Free and Unlimited Access to Alumni Weatherhead offers employers free unlimited access to alumni candidates for your direct and experienced hire positions. As a lifelong service to our alumni, we offer access to our on-line recruiting services, resume referrals and introductions to those organizations seeking to hire experienced candidates.

Information Sessions Information sessions give recruiters the opportunity to increase their company's on-campus presence while providing a company overview and promoting career or internship positions currently available with their organization. A company benefits from these sessions because they have more time in the interview to learn about the candidate. These sessions can be open to both first and second year students, or can be marketed as a closed session specific to career or intern candidates. The format of the session typically consists of a 30-45 minute company presentation, followed by a Q&A period and a reception. If you are interested in hosting an Information Session here at the Weatherhead School of Management, please contact Lamont Davis at (216) 368-1820. Experiencing is BelievingMany employers find that early exposure and assessment of a candidate’s ability are important components of the selection process. We offer cost effective ways to introduce you to talented candidates. These include full-time and part-time internships, Case Competitions and Action Learning. Full and Part-Time Internships Our students have an average of 4 years of professional experience. As a result, they are able to make an impact on a project in a relatively short period of time. Weatherhead students are poised to work in your environment and will bring new ideas and solutions to your business challenges. Students are available for internships on a full-time basis in the summer and part-time (up to 20 hours) during the school year. Case Competitions Case competitions invite first year MBA candidates to compete as teams and gain feedback from experienced alumni currently pursuing careers in Marketing, Finance and Consulting. Case competitions offer companies the opportunity to increase their presence on campus. Furthermore, these events serve to enhance the breadth of at Weatherhead student’s educational experience. Student teams are presented with a real business challenge and are asked to develop recommendations and subsequent implementation strategies. Similar to an assessment activity, companies can observe and evaluate the students’ teambuilding, presentation style and analytical skills. Action Learning Action Learning is a 6 credit course taken in the third semester of a full-time MBA student’s curriculum. The course is designed to encourage the cross functional integration of the analytical tools, knowledge, and perspective gained during the first year in the core curriculum. Student teams are assigned to action learning projects in the corporate, healthcare, and nonprofit sectors. Applying the team management and appreciative inquiry approach learned during the Managerial Assessment and development course, teams of four to five students, supported by a multi-disciplinary team of faculty “coaches”, are expected to devote 15-20 hours per week throughout the semester to their action learning project. Sponsorships Sponsoring Weatherhead events will provide you with great visibility among our students. Opportunities to heighten your campus presence through sponsorships are available through the Weatherhead Breakfast Series and Casino night.
