Question: I see that registration for next year’s on-campus recruiting (OCR) was May 12-23, but I’m not certain of my 2009 hiring needs at this time. Does this preclude my organization from participating in OCR next year?

Answer: No. Early registration is provided as a service for organizations with established on-campus MBA recruitment programs, since we recognize their need to schedule interviews at multiple campuses for multiple divisions. However, if your hiring needs are not known at this time, we can accommodate you on a space-available basis after June 9. We recommend that you contact us as soon as you are ready so we can develop a customized recruiting program that best fits your needs and objectives.

Also, remember that there are still talented students who are still seeking positions. If you are looking to hire for a summer internship or full-time position, please remember that there are several additional ways in which we can still be of help:

• Post a summer or full-time position on the Job Board via the Recruiter Dashboard. You can also post jobs to Sloan Fellows as well as GSB alumni for full-time, experienced roles.
• Review the resume books of first- and second-year Stanford MBA students. Complimentary access is provided as of mid-April; contact Charlotte Carter for the link and password. Note: Organizations must be approved by the CMC in order to access the Resume Book. We are unable to provide access to third parties such as Executive Search firms.
• Send us your job description and we will circulate it directly to the CMC career advisors who may know students who are a good match for the position.
• Speak to a CMC contact for information about connecting with student clubs.
