Attend or Host A Recruiting Event
Throughout the year, the Career Center hosts a variety of events for employers to engage with students. In the era of AI, it’s getting more difficult for recruiting teams to find the right talent. Our opportunities to engage are designed to foster connection, build relationships, and ultimately, strengthen your talent pipeline.
Employers interested in building brand awareness on campus and developing deeper connections with our students are invited to become a Willamette Partner.
Our 2026 Fall Semester Career Symposium Events are live!
Stop collecting resumes. Start building relationships.
Reimagine campus recruiting through events designed to spark meaningful conversations, foster authentic connections, and create real hiring opportunities. Meet talented students beyond the resume, strengthen your talent pipeline, and build relationships that could lead to your next great hire.
Each event brings together students and industry professionals for a panel featuring insights, experiences, and career advice, followed by an interactive networking session. Employers can engage directly with students, exchange ideas, answer questions, and discover emerging talent in a more personal and meaningful setting.
Register on Career Connector for an upcoming event and connect with the talent you want to hire.
