Recruit at Warrington
Onboarding is just the beginning
You know your recruitment efforts are successful when a new hire matures into an innovative, collaborative leader whose strategies empower organizational growth.
Recognizing this outcome, the University of Florida Warrington College of Business knows that recruiters like you seek more than a stack of resumes. You require face time, opportunities to talk about what you do, and a customized hiring solution that aligns your talent pool with ongoing company needs.
As your partner, we’ll build this pipeline for you. Tell us about the roles you need filled and the skills you prioritize. We’ll then put you in front of some of the brightest and most engaged minds in business and ensure our curriculum reflects market expectations.
This not only makes for efficient, effective hiring — it’s also a chance to nurture your future workforce.

How to meet our students
They might be studying accounting, marketing, or management, returning to school after a decade in the workforce or thinking about how they can transform business practices. No matter their background or goals, our students look for someone like you and want to know what you offer. Here’s how to make your introduction.
Information sessions
Highlight your specialty, your industry and your ideal employee while guiding our students toward their next steps — like a training program or strategies to define their career path. These on-campus and virtual events typically involve a presentation followed by networking.
Tabling opportunities
Build clear brand recognition by maintaining a presence inside Warrington’s three schools. Setting up a table extends your introduction while allowing you to engage with our students.
Company office hours
Reserve an interview room to speak with students one-on-one or in small groups about your company and current openings.
Career development workshops
Discuss interview etiquette, professional attire, social media presence, personal branding and more relevant topics through the lens of your organization. Sessions can last anywhere from 45 minutes to a full day and often include a Q&A portion.
Company campus ambassadors
Personal perspectives say so much more than statistics. So have your former interns spread the word across Warrington’s community as an extension of your recruiting team, including during information sessions and office hours.
