On-Campus Recruiting (OCR)

Program Overview

Overview of On-Campus Recruiting (OCR) Program

The On-Campus Recruiting (OCR) program is integrated into CalJobs, part of our password protected Callisto system. To participate, you must offer full-time, entry level positions and/or paid summer internships. Review the academic calendar and general OCR deadlines before planning your visit. Once you have requested OCR dates and received confirmation, the process involves these primary steps:
  1. Students register to participate in the OCR system by completing an online registration form and resume using CalJobs.
  2. You enter job descriptions and link them to your confirmed interview date. Jobs then "go live" to students.
  3. Qualified students interested in your opportunities submit their resumes into your online "resume drop" box by the preestablished deadline date.
  4. After the "resume drop" deadline, you can access your resumes directly through OCR.
  5. Following your resume screening process, you will be ready to finalize the set-up of your interview schedule(s) and then identify your primary candidates and alternates.
    • First, contact our office if you need to adjust your interview length, time schedule or sign-up timeline.
    • Second, enter your preselect and alternate choices.
    • Third, once you have selected the students, send emails to them notifying them to sign up for appointments.
  6. As the student sign-ups occur, you can monitor your schedule(s) online. Contact the Employer Relations & Recruiting Office at (510) 642-0464 or by email if you have any scheduling concerns.
  7. The day before your campus visit, print your final schedule(s) and remember to bring your resumes with you.

Additionally,

  • Contact our office if you wish to extend your deadlines; e.g., your resume submission deadline to occur after your information session, a career fair, or other campus event.
  • You can view the recruiting calendar and request OCR dates online.
  • You may also want to schedule an Employer Information Session.
  • You may want to subscribe to an Employer Spotlight or take advantage of other advertising opportunities.

  • We will still accept recruiting literature or other materials to be distributed by your recruiters on the day of the interviews. This should be sent via UPS or Federal Express to: University of California, Berkeley, Career Center, Recruiting Program, Room 317, 2111 Bancroft Way, Berkeley, CA 94720-4350. Please clearly indicate "Hold for Recruiters" and the date of your visit(s) on the inside and outside of your boxes.
