Elevate your brand with Waterloo’s emerging talent!
Competition for top talent is fierce. Innovative Waterloo co-op students and new graduates are a great way to expand your talent pool. It's easier than ever to recruit them! Each term you can host in-person or virtual Employer Information Sessions (EIS). Among other benefits, you can meet potential candidates and increase the number of applicants to your job(s).
Why host an Employer Information Session?

A limited number of sessions are available each term, both in-person and virtual, offered on a first-come, first-served basis. If spaces fill up, we’d be happy to add you to our waiting list.

Our employers say:
A resume can only tell you so much, right? I get like 200 resumes
for three positions, but meeting someone in-person just really tells you a lot more.
There's nothing better than talking to students face to face. You can see their interest, excitement and really get to know them, which helps the recruitment process move faster.
It’s easy to read about what our company does online, but here we can show students what we really do using 3D models and live demos that they love to see in person.
