Recruitment events
Recruitment events are your opportunity to engage directly with students on-campus or online.
On-campus events
Our on-campus recruitment events typically follow the format of a one-hour presentation and Q&A, with the option to host a one-hour networking session directly afterwards. Below is an example of popular formats, however, we are adaptable and happy to discuss alternative times and structures with you:
- 5–6pm or 6-7pm: Recruitment event – no networking
- 5-7pm or 6-8pm: Recruitment event with networking
Online events
We are now offering the option of hosting online presentations through Zoom, which we can set up on your behalf. We recommend the following formats, but can discuss additional timings and formats depending on your requirements:
- 1x 60min for evening events
- 2x 30min during lecture times (8am – 5pm).

Catering options
If you include a networking session with your event, you can choose to have this catered by an approved campus supplier or arrange for pizza delivery.
Catering is not included in the recruitment event cost and is paid directly to the supplier. We are happy to arrange on your behalf based on your selection and add the cost to your invoice, or if you’d prefer, we can put you in initial contact with your chosen supplier to discuss the right menu options for your event.
Approved suppliers
- Flame Tree Kitchen
- Urban Gourmet
- Pizza (eg: Dominos, Hell Pizza)
Tips for planning a successful recruitment event
This is based on feedback we have received from our students:
- Provide information about what students can expect during your application process, and how they can stand out
- Bring recent graduates who can talk through their own ‘graduate journey’ at your organisation
- Showcase examples of the sort of work newly hired interns or graduates will be doing
- Provide insight into your work culture and ‘what makes you excited to go to work in the morning’
- Give students the opportunity to network with you after your presentation
- Where possible, and appropriate, include something interactive eg: live demo, problem solving activity, case study competition, etc.
