Unveiling the New On-Campus Recruiting System

With MonsterTRAK shutting down school's individual recruiting platforms on June 30, 2008, The Center for Career Education's Employer and Alumni Relations division has been hard at work vetting and customizing a new on-campus recruiting platform. The Center has chosen to work with CSO Research/Interfase for the ability to customize the system to best support the needs of students and employers. To support the transition process, we have invited the student body to help us brand and name this new system and we expect to unveil the new name and logo in a few weeks.

With this new system, students, employers and alumni will have access to all Columbia targeted job postings, on-campus interviews, employer presentations, career center events, career fairs, as well as thousands of jobs employers choose to syndicate through MonsterTRAK. You will also be able to maintain a person calendar, manage multiple resumes, cover letters, and other employment related documents and RSVP for events. The system has some great new features that we hope will ease your process for recruiting and job searches.

So what does this mean for you?

Because the Columbia University targeted systems will be permanently off-line, it is imperative for you to remove any documents you may have stored in MonsterTRAK and download them to your personal computer before JUNE 30TH. There is no guarantee we will be able to retrieve them for you after this date. You will still be able to access MonsterTRAK jobs through MonsterTRAK.com, but they will not be CU student focused. In the upcoming weeks, we will be releasing tutorials to ensure you are able to properly navigate the new system. Please be sure to thoroughly review these documents and contact CCE with any questions.

MonsterTrak

The Columbia University Center for Career Education has partnered with MonsterTRAK to provide students and alumni with an online employment database.

Students and Alumni will have access to the following resources inside the site:

ColumbiaTRAK

ColumbiaTRAK contains job listings for full-time, part-time (on-campus and off-campus) and internship opportunities. Students will be able to submit resumes directly to employers. Communication between employers and candidates is self-managed.

InterviewTRAK

InterviewTRAK, the on-campus recruiting program, allows students and alumni to submit resumes directly to employers who have committed to interview candidates on campus and who have registered with the Center for Career Education. Candidate selection and interview scheduling are managed with the system. These opportunities are primarily composed of full-time entry level and internship openings.

Disclosure Notice

Employers pay a fee to MonsterTrak to list their job openings and a portion of that fee is remitted by MonsterTrak to the University.
