Campus Recruitment

We offer the following services to employers interested in recruiting HCC Eagles throughout the year. 

1. Career Fairs - We host Career Fairs in the fall and spring semesters. Employers register for Career Fairs within HCC CareerHub. 
2. Recruit Eagles Booth - The Recruit Eagles Booth is similar to what an employer would have at an actual Career Fair. We recommend that employers bring job descriptions, giveaways, and any other pertinent information a student should have in order to learn more about the company. This is a new service provided by Career & Job Placement Services and there is no cost. For now, employers will need to contact the relevant Career Center to register a booth in a high traffic area on campus. 
3. Company Networking Day - This is exactly what it sounds like! This is an opportunity for employers to host their very own Information Session/Career Fair on an HCC campus. In partnership with the respective Career Center(s), employers will be able to reserve a room and the Career Center will actively engage the targeted majors about the Networking Day. We recommend that these types of events are hosted either in the late afternoon or early evening (3 p.m. - 6 p.m.). Employers can plan as they would for a Career Fair as well as make plans to interview candidates that meet minimum requirements for the role. 
4. Campus Interviews - We ask employers to request an interview schedule in HCC CareerHub. 

 

 

Career & Transfer Services has six specialized Career Centers positioned throughout the HCC system in order to support workforce programs. Below you will find the Career Centers and the programs they support.

A Recruit Eagles booth is an opportunity for companies/organizations to promote their brand, services, and job opportunities to HCC Eagles anywhere in the Houston Community College System. Companies request this service when they want to have a table in a high traffic area on campus. Career & Transfer Services highly recommends that employers and universities reserve Recruit Eagles Booths throughout the year in order to promote brand awareness. We also have provided this service in order to be more conducive to HCC Eagles being hired for roles in the Houston job market.
