Employer Relations

The Employer Relations (ER) Team strives to make the employer's Smith recruiting experience exceptional, easy and efficient. The ER team works with employer partners to customize recruiting strategies that make it simple for them to connect with Smith talent for full-time, part-time or internship opportunities. ER assists with planning, preparing and executing on-campus interviews, virtual interviews, events, career fairs, networking sessions and other engagements to connect students with potential jobs. If there is an event that an employer wants to conduct on campus, the ER team works across the UMD enterprise to make it happen.15-Industry Practice Alignment

ER-supported employer activity is managed through HireSmith, the OCS system of record for recruiting activity.
