General Purpose

The Student Recruitment Administrator is a member of the Employment Services & Systems (ES&S) unit within the Experiential Learning Hub. ES&S is responsible for employment services for students, as well as the maintenance and use of the Experience Guelph system, an experiential learning management platform. The ES&S team works with thousands of employers who post and hire U of G students annually for 5,000+ co‑op students from over 60 co‑op programs, as well as all regular U of G students and new graduates.

This role is one of three positions that coordinate pre‑interview components of the Co‑operative Education recruitment process, including the approval of all employer accounts in Experience Guelph, posting and approval of all co‑op job postings, and the scheduling of all co‑op interviews. During peak periods, the incumbent could be responsible for posting close to 300 co‑op job postings and arranging over 130 interviews in a single week.

Duties and Responsibilities

Key duties and responsibilities include:

- Interacts daily with members of our employer stakeholder base, communicating co‑op information regarding programs and the employment process, and provides one‑on‑one guidance and support for use of the Experience Guelph system.

- Administers the posting of over 5,500 co‑op job opportunities annually, assessing each posting against the EL Hub’s recruitment standards, and adding additional pertinent information to assist in searching and applying for opportunities.

- Creates interview schedules based on employer directions and connects one‑on‑one with interviewers to confirm any missing or unclear information.

- Troubleshoots student conflicts, working collaboratively with the employer to accommodate where possible, and updates the interview schedules accordingly (between 25-40% of interview schedules experience conflicts, depending on the semester).

- Reviews accepted job offers daily, removing students who have accepted other positions so that interview schedules are current.

- Works to ensure that all co‑op students have signed up for upcoming interviews prior to the deadline.

- Closes interview schedules and sends interview packages (interview schedule, application bundle, etc.) to employers no later than one day in advance of the scheduled interview.

- Records all posting and interview related communications with employers and students in the system.

- Contributes to data integrity standards; creates and edits content and accounts in the Experience Guelph platform.

This is a multi‑incumbent role meant to serve all co‑op programs and be cross trained to provide back‑up and relief to other members of the ES&S team.

One (1) year Community College Diploma in Human Resources or Business Administration or a related field along with at least one (1) year of related administrative experience, preferably in roles focusing on Human Resources or post‑secondary education.
