Recruiting at Marist University

Marist University is committed to supporting employers and students through flexible, contemporary recruiting practices that reflect current industry trends and evolving hiring needs. While Marist continues to offer structured recruiting seasons, we recognize the growing shift toward virtual recruitment and are pleased to support a variety of interview formats.

Recruiting Timelines

Recruiting at Marist typically follows these timeframes:

• Fall Recruiting: August through December

• Spring Recruiting: January through May

Below is an outline of the many recruiting programs we have to offer:

• Career and Internship Fair: This event, held twice a year, is an opportunity for students to network with employers. Employers come to campus to promote their organizations and share valuable advice and information with Marist students regarding career trends, employment outlook, and occupational options. 

• Posting a Job or Internship: To list a part-time or full-time job or internship opportunity for a Marist University audience, we ask employers to use Handshake. Please register in Handshake here if you do not already have a Handshake account.

IMPORTANT: 
Marist University reserves the right to withhold this service from organizations or positions that are not deemed to be appropriate for our students in relation to their educational and career goals. Marist University and/or the Center for Career Services do not verify or screen job candidates. It is the responsibility of the employer to research candidates thoroughly. Employers are expected to abide by Marist’s Code of Conduct included in the Internship Handbook.

Interview Formats

In addition to on-campus, in-person interviews we also support virtual first-round interviews including:

• Zoom or other video conferencing platforms
• HireVue and similar on-demand interview tools

These formats provide greater flexibility for employers and increased access for students while aligning with current hiring practices across industries.

Interview Room Availability

Although most first-round interviews are conducted virtually, Marist offers dedicated interview rooms within the Center for Career Services, located in the Dyson Center, to support these initiatives. These rooms are available for students who need a quiet, professional space to participate in virtual interviews.

In-person interviews may still be arranged based on employer needs and on a first-come first-serve basis.

Employer Support & Contact Information

The Center for Career Services partners closely with employers to facilitate successful recruiting experiences. Any questions regarding recruiting timelines, interview formats, or interview room availability should be directed to career.services@marist.edu.

We look forward to working with you to create a recruiting experience that meets your goals while supporting Marist students’ career development.
