Throughout the year, Management Career Services organizes various recruitment initiatives and events. These are great opportunities for you to promote your organization and meet our students before your hiring process begins. Complement your recruiting strategy by participating in or hosting a targeted event on Dalhousie's campus.
Information Sessions
Target students by hosting an information session virtually or in our state-of-the-art Kenneth C. Rowe Management Building. Share insights about your business and career opportunities and recruit top talent — all at no cost to you! The majority of employers host information sessions in the months of September, October and January; however, this service is available to you year-round. Contact mcs@dal.ca to start the planning process.
Signature Recruitment Events
Management Career Services hosts exclusive events that attract employers from across the country to attend.
Dal Business Networking Night
Dal Business Networking Night brings together employers and recruiters from all industry sectors and students from all years of the Commerce Co-op, Management and Corporate Residency MBA programs for a lively evening of professional networking in early September. Our 2024 event welcomed nearly 550 students and employers on campus, giving 17 sponsor organizations premium brand exposure.

Dal Business Society Showcase
There are more than a dozen business student societies in Dalhousie’s Faculty of Management. Our virtual Dal Business Society Showcase provides employer partners with the opportunity to learn about all of them in order to build and strengthen relationships with the societies best aligned with their recruitment strategies.
Commerce Summer Social

This event celebrates Bachelor of Commerce students returning to campus after completing their first-ever co-op work term. This is a great opportunity for employers who are looking to engage or reconnect with students embarking on their fall co-op job search. Participating organizations will have the opportunity to host an information booth in the Rowe Atrium and engage in a casual networking atmosphere that offers targeted brand exposure. Space is limited. Contact the MCS team to get involved.
