Advertising to Students

The current recruiting environment is very competitive and executing a comprehensive advertising campaign may be a key to your success at Harvard.

For any employer participating in the On-Campus Interview Program, we will automatically advertise your positions and visit dates to Harvard on the OCI Web Site and on Crimson Careers. However, to maximize the impact of your visits, you may want to consider taking advantage of the many publicity vehicles available at Harvard. The following are some examples:

Working Directly with Student Groups

In addition to print advertising, we encourage you to connect with students through the many student organizations on campus, in addition to the Pre-Professional/Business Clubs. Feel free to contact these groups directly about working with them on programs of common interest. In the past, these programs have focused on issues such as career panels, dining etiquette dinners, dress for success presentations, networking, and employer site visits.
