Hire-A-Niner: our data shows that more than 70% of current students engage with our system which means posting your key positions will be seen by a wide audience. Include the pay rate and a strong job description and detailed information about your company and its vision and mission to help candidates understand how their skills, interests, and values intersect with your organization. We do not allow postings of unpaid opportunities.

• System allows you to direct students to your hiring portal
• Allows us to analyze the viewing and interaction rates for your positions to better help you manage your recruitment plans each semester and tweak branding plans as needed.

Pro Tip: Make sure your Employer Profile is updated in Hire-A-Niner and include videos, if available. 

There are two ways to obtain resumes from the Resume Books in our system. These books are "opt-in" selections for our students and alumni, providing us their permission to send out their resume.

• General Resume Books - employers can send us a job/internship description they are interested in getting potential candidate resumes.  It is important to provide details on specific skills and experience you hope candidates can demonstrate.
   
• Company Resume Book - employers can request we develop a Book specific to a function, hiring program, or for general interest in all career paths.  Our office will make this Book available to students for a period of time and refer all interested candidate resumes to the employer at the conclusion.

Note: Resume Books may not be useful for every opportunity or organization.  Check with your Industry Specialist to craft a strategy that works best for your talent needs.  Email us at recruit@charlotte.edu to get started.

Because our students pay attention to emails and Hire-A-Niner, we are able to take positions you have available and have posted in Hire-A-Niner and "push them out" through our various channels to provide extra visibility. What we need:
