Recruiting Options - Posting Jobs and Resume Collections

The Office of Career Services maintains a Job Bank for students and graduates on Symplicity. Legal employers may easily post year-round for positions for law students or lateral positions for experienced attorneys at no charge. If you are interested in hiring a law student as a clerk or permanent associate or if you need to hire an experienced attorney for a lateral position, we can assist you with your hiring needs.

Employers may specify their preference for receiving resumes and additional application materials. Materials may be sent to the designated contact by:

• Online Collection of Resumes: Through Symplicity, employers can access the materials from the students who responded to the job posting, and then generate a resume booklet.
• Direct Contact: Applicants may be instructed to send materials directly to you via email, fax, mail or your organization’s web site.
• Resume Collection: The Office of Career Services will collect resumes on your behalf and send them to you in one packet.
