On-Campus Recruitment, or OCR, is an opportunity for you to come to the Saddleback Campus to hire our students. Once you have registered and posted a job in Handshake, you can request a virtual or in-person On Campus Recruitment event with us through the 'events' option. We recommend scheduling your event Monday through Thursday, between 10 a.m. - 1 p.m.

Information or Info Sessions are employer-led events that are usually held in a classroom with full presentation capabilities to discuss company culture, opportunities, and recruitment and selection. Once you've registered and posted a job, use the "Events" option in Handshake and select "Info Session" to submit a request for a date/time. Students are then invited to RSVP in Handshake. Logistics and parking permit will be emailed prior to the Info Session. We require at least two weeks' advanced notice for requests to adequately market to students.

All OCR is currently offered as Information Session so we can coordinate with the student  success team, faculty, and programs relevant to the positions you wish to hire for to attract as many students as possible to your event. Information Sessions also allow our students to get to know you and understand more about your company or organization, and the positions you are recruiting for.

Logistics and parking permit will be emailed prior to your visit.

Career Fairs are typically hosted in the Spring semester and all details are managed through Handshake. Students can view and RSVP to events seamlessly and any employer connected with Saddleback College in Handshake will receive invitations to register for any upcoming Career Fairs. Any other local career fair events you may be hosting separately can be promoted as well!

If you have any other event or recruiting opportunity that you would like to share with our community, please feel free to share via Handshake once you have registered and posted a job. You can also send us a digital flyer via email.
