Throughout the fall and spring semesters, employers recruit on campus for internship opportunities, Early ID leadership programs and full-time jobs.  Most of the full-time positions recruited for begin in June, however some start in January. In order to be eligible for on-campus recruiting (OCR), students must attend a Mandatory OCR Workshop (click “Events” then “Workshops”). Attendance at this workshop will result in the adjustment of their Starr Search Applicant Type status to be “OCR Eligible”, allowing students to apply to all OCR opportunities provided they still meet all other eligibility criteria (minimum GPA requirements, major, year in school, graduation date, etc.) within each OCR posting.  Please note that all interviews through Baruch’s OCR program are currently being conducted virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In an effort to become more educated regarding various companies and their opportunities, we recommend you attend their corporate presentations which are all listed under the “Events / Information Sessions” section of Starr Search.

Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, OCR interviews took place in the Starr Career Development Center, unless otherwise indicated. Starr is located in Baruch College’s Vertical Campus building in Room 2-150 (2nd floor) at 55 Lexington Avenue (24th Street corner), New York, NY 10010. Please note that all current interviews through Baruch’s OCR program are being conducted virtually, until further notice.

For OCR opportunities, Starr is committed to working in the best interest of both our students and employer partners. We encourage employers to be understanding and willing to provide students ample time to carefully consider all of their employment options and to make informed decisions during the recruiting season. In an effort to establish a fair, competitive and ethical recruiting environment for both students and employers, Starr strongly encourages employers to abide by the OCR offer and date guidelines below.

As a student, you may ask for extensions beyond these recommended deadlines, however it will be at the employer’s discretion as to whether or not they can accommodate you. If you have any concerns and/or questions regarding an offer deadline that an employer has given you, please email us at CareerDevelopmentCenter@baruch.cuny.edu.
