If you are specifically seeking Ohio Wesleyan students or alumni, you can post directly on Handshake. If you need assistance, access the Handshake Help Center and see more about how to Register as an Employer on Handshake.
2). Include in a Bi-Weekly Newsletter: Our Career Catalysts work with specific Career Communities and cultivate Newsletters with relevant opportunities.

Career Connection invites employers to table in the Hamilton William Campus Center (HWCC) for free one day per month! Please complete the form below to request a lobby table from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on your selected day.
Employers interested in on-campus recruiting opportunities are invited to schedule an on-campus recruiting date. Special arrangements for interviews can be arranged. We prefer to have advance notice of at least two-three weeks to allow time to properly publicize your visit to our students. In order to allow a variety of recruiters to come to campus, we can accommodate two recruiting visits per organization each semester.
Information sessions and faculty connections (availability depending) can also be arranged. Information sessions usually take place in the evenings or at noon. If you plan to conduct on-campus interviews, information sessions are frequently scheduled the day prior to raise visibility and general awareness of your organization. If an evening program or presentation is desired, please mention this option when you contact us.
Please email careers@owu.edu with questions and to schedule a visit!
Did you know that OWU runs a robust Employer Partners program with 15+ employers? Our Employer Partners serve as a focus group for Career Connection, offering valuable insights and suggestions. These employers are featured to our students and invited to specialty events.
Employer Partners are asked to attend at least one focus group meeting, and to engage at least twice with OWU students on campus via career fairs, tabling, networking, information sessions, or other programming. To become an Employer Partner, please complete the Employer Partners On-boarding Form Here and we will be in touch. Please see our current Employer Partners here.
