Accounting Recruiting at Robinson
Each year hundreds of employers come to Robinson to recruit undergraduate and graduate students alike. They find Robinson students to be smart, energetic, diverse and capable. Robinson students are ready to roll up their sleeves and work hard to tackle today’s business opportunities.
Our accounting, taxation and finance programs have a long history of strong graduates, and the Career Advancement Center is pleased to offer companies multiple opportunities to meet these students.
If you are interested in hiring undergraduate and graduate students as well as alumni from the Robinson accounting, tax and finance programs, explore all the ways you can connect with our students and make them your next hire.
As most recruiting for our accounting students happens in the fall semester between September 1 and October 31, the Career Advancement Center offers career fairs, information sessions, open houses, corporate site visits, on campus interviews, company mixers and socials, student organization meetings, and classroom presentations during this time. We look forward to helping you develop a successful recruiting plan.
