Scheduling on-campus interviews (OCI) at DePaul gives your organization the opportunity to interview a diverse pool of students, with the added bonus of building your campus brand. All interviews are scheduled through
Handshake , which eliminates the headache of scheduling multiple interviews. Through this system, you can electronically review resumes and communicate with candidates who possess the qualifications and skills that you’re looking for. You'll also have our Employer Engagement team on-site to assist in a seamless interview process.
Schedule an Interview Day
The first step to scheduling an interview day at DePaul is
creating a Handshake account and posting the position you’d like to interview students for. Interviews are scheduled in our Loop Campus interview suites.
Step-by-step instructions for requesting an interview day are available on Handshake. If you have questions or would like to inquire about availability, please email
recruitstudents@depaul.edu.
You have three interview season options for hosting your interview. We do not typically schedule interviews over the summer due to limited student availability.
