The Nebraska College Recruiting Consortium (NCRC) is an organized recruiting effort among nine small colleges in Nebraska. Consortium member schools include Bellevue University, Concordia University, Dana College, Doane College, Hastings College, Midland Lutheran College, Nebraska Wesleyan University, Peru State College, and Union College. The NCRC offers employers the opportunity to recruit candidates of superior quality from all member colleges by contacting only one person, the NCRC coordinator. Recruiting programs are managed online using the NCRC JobZone (NACELink software). The NCRC facilitates resume referral, centralized interviewing, and Accounting Interview Day. - Resume Referral – Students / Graduates register online with HC Career Services and the NCRC and then upload a general resume that will be available to send via email to employers. The registration profile provides data in an online database. Employers receive resumes from the NCRC Coordinator of candidates based on data from the profile – data that shows that candidates meet qualifications and have career and geographic expectations in line with their job opportunities. Employers contact candidates in which they are interested for interviews.
- Interviewing – Students / Graduates register online with HC Career Services and the NCRC. They then may upload one or more resumes to submit to employers who are hiring through a centralized interview location. After the submission deadline, employers view the resumes and pre-select candidates to interview in either Lincoln (at Nebraska Wesleyan University) or Omaha (at the Lozier Center, Bellevue University-West Campus).
- Accounting Interview Day – Accounting has always been one of the leading industries in campus recruitment. Each October public accounting firms and private employers compete to recruit the best students by hosting interviews for full time positions that typically begin the following summer or fall. A few employers also recruit for summer interns. With a mid-September deadline, accounting students need to contact Career Services during the first week in September to register and learn how to use the JobZone system.
