Recruitment Made Simple: OSCARplus - McMaster's NEW Online Career Portal
McMaster and DeGroote are proud to announce the launch of the new and improved online career website! Our revamped, user-friendly portal is a centralized system
that allows recruiters to post jobs, register to attend career events, and access all of the services and activities available to promote your on-campus presence.
Online Student Career and Recruitment Plus (OSCARplus) is located at www.oscarplusmcmaster.ca.
To post a job
Email your job posting to bizplace@mcmaster.ca or follow the OSCARplus guidelines listed to the right to post your own position. Our Associate, Recruitment Programs will arrange job posting details and organize on-campus interviews at your request.
Conduct On-Campus Interviews
Once you have selected your candidates, notify one of our Associates at 905.525.9140 ext. 27592 for Commerce or ext. 27759 for MBA, or email bizplace@mcmaster.ca to customize an interview schedule that works for you.
On-Campus Interview Facilities
Our staff will partner with you to facilitate a seamless on-campus interview process. CBCD has a number of dedicated interview rooms to facilitate on-campus interviewing at both the Hamilton and Burlington locations.
In order to ensure the best service to employers and that students have a reasonable amount of time to manage their academic and interview schedules, we request that all first round interviews are conducted on-campus. We will also invite your recruiters to lunch with one of our Relationship Managers.
Our facilities can accommodate telephone interviews
for those who are unable to make the trip to McMaster's main campus or the Ron Joyce Centre in Burlington.
Company Information Sessions
Company Information Sessions are an excellent way to profile your organization to MBA or Commerce students at McMaster. These sessions inform students of upcoming job opportunities and give you a chance to network with potential future employees.
CBCD will facilitate your session with:
- Reservation of venue and audio-visual equipment on-campus
- Referral to catering services
- Free advertising of your event through multiple communication channels
- Online RSVP system for students
- Integration of your information session with your job posting and on-campus interview schedules
