Connect with the next generation of technical leaders, trained to build and lead in high-impact environments.
At CMU-Silicon Valley, employer engagement goes beyond traditional recruiting. Companies form meaningful connections with graduate students who are already thinking at the level of infrastructure, AI, cybersecurity, product, and emerging tech. Whether you’re looking to fill roles now or build a long-term talent pipeline, our students are ready to contribute.
Hosting an event on campus or inviting students to your headquarters does more than fill roles. It strengthens your brand, builds lasting relationships, and positions your company as a destination for top technical talent.
Events that elevate your brand
Our Career Services team partners closely with employers to design recruiting experiences that reflect your company’s culture and goals. If you don’t see something that fits below, we’re happy to create something with you.
- Fireside Chats – Spark real conversation through casual Q&A with your recruiters, engineers, or alumni. These sessions create personal connections and help students get to know your team and mission.
- Tech Talks – Share a technical challenge, product breakthrough, or R&D insight. Led by your senior technical leaders, these talks position your team as innovators and mentors.
- Recruiting Sessions – Engage students actively seeking internships or full-time roles. Host a company info session, resume review, or alumni networking event to build momentum in your hiring pipeline.
- Tech Treks – Invite students to your headquarters to experience your company culture firsthand. These visits can range in size from 10 to 50 students and often include alumni volunteers from your team.
- Hackathons - Host a themed hackathon at your workplace or on our campus, that aligns with your hiring needs or technical focus. You bring the challenge, we bring the talent and energy.
Let’s build an experience that connects your company to the future of tech talent.
Not just a visit. A recruiting strategy.
Recruiters who build an on-campus presence benefit from:
- Early access to top-tier technical talent based in the Bay Area, along with a curated resume book shared by our team
- A strategic partnership with Career Services to help promote your event and reach the right audience
- Brand visibility in a dynamic community of software and security engineers, product leaders, and emerging innovators
Hosting an experience is more than a one-time event. It’s a long-term strategy to attract and engage talent who are already building at the level your teams need.
