What is continuous hiring?
At Brock University, we follow a continuous hire process to ensure your recruitment needs are fulfilled as efficiently as possible.
This means that after interviewing students, employers will list their top students in order of preference (students do not rank employers). Offers will be extended to students in the order provided, and students will be able to accept or decline the offer.
If a student declines, an offer will automatically be extended to the next student provided by the employer. Students will be required to respond to offers within 2 business days. If the offer is accepted, the employer then follows up with a formal job offer.
Career hiring
Engage top talent.
We take a consultative and collaborative approach to support your recruitment goals, increase your on-campus profile and connect you with qualified students and graduates. We do this by:
- Understanding your current and future hiring needs and working with you to reach your target audience.
- Providing a platform to engage with students both on and off campus through events, employer showcases and discipline-specific programming.
