HireSmith

Welcome to HireSmith, powered by 12Twenty.

The Robert H. Smith School of Business has partnered with 12Twenty, a full-service resource for employers, students and alumni. Whether you're looking for employment or looking to hire, the HireSmith Career Portal puts a wealth of information at your disposal.

Incoming Students

Your account will be created between the time that you register for classes and the time your classes begin. If you still do not have access after your first week of classes, please email smithocsservice@umd.edu with your UID and program.

Current Students

If you follow the above instructions and receive the message "Single Sign-On Error. We have encountered an issue logging you into our system. A user with SSO ID '###' could not be found", please contact the Office of Career Services at smithocsservice@umd.edu or call us at 301-405-2301.
