E-Recruiting

Current students and graduates may go on-line to post resumes and to search for employment opportunities

HireNet
A Professional looking, easy to read resume (called a Candidate Profile) will help set you apart from other job seekers. Use this online software to develop a Candidate Profile that communicates your…

• Career Objectives
• Geographic Preferences
• Salary Requirements
• Experience
• Key Skills
• Education and Training

…to employers clearly, concisely, professionally. Send your resume to any employer, anywhere in the world, with the click of a button.

Create a Job Scout that compares every new job posted on HireNet to your Career Interests, Geographic Preferences, and Salary Requirements, and notifies you by email every time an opportunity matching your criteria is identified. Then, visit HireNet to review the complete job descriptions, and forward your Candidate Profile to Employers with the best opportunities.

Need Complete Confidentiality? Concerned about your current employer or others seeing your resume on HireNet? No Problem! Create a HireNet Candidate Profile and then use the “hide” feature. With this feature activated, no one, including HireNet’s Employers, can access your Candidate Profile. But you can still forward your Profile to Employers with job opportunities of interest.
