COVID-19 update for employers

In an effort to prevent the spread of COVID-19, most UMD staff and faculty are working remotely, and in-person instruction has been suspended through the end of the semester. While these changes may impact your Spring recruitment efforts, we want you to know that we are still here to assist you with effective alternative options. 

Here are just some ways you can continue to connect with our students:

Please continue to email hirebulldogs@d.umn.edu with questions for our Employer Relations team or contact the Career & Internship Services office at 218-726-7985.

Career and Internship Services welcomes your interest in hiring University of Minnesota Duluth students and alumni. Career and Internship Services is a centralized office serving UMD students in all majors. We can facilitate your contact with students and alumni for internships and full-time employment through the following services.

GoldPASS powered by Handshake

On Campus Recruiting

Recruiting dates are available during the school year and may be scheduled by using GoldPASS powered by Handshake or by contacting our Employer Relations team at hirebulldogs@d.umn.edu. If you choose an "open schedule," students will sign up to interview with you on a first-come, first-served basis. If you want to screen candidates and pre-select those you wish to interview, you may choose a "closed schedule." Whichever schedule you choose, we encourage you to consider students from as broad a range of majors and degrees as the internship or job description allows. We are confident that as you make your selections, you will fully support our commitment to Equal Employment Opportunity policies. When you visit UMD, please honor the No Smoking Policy: Smoking is prohibited on all UMD property. The smoking ban includes indoor facilities, campus grounds, as well as all University vehicles.

Employer Information Sessions

You can arrange to host an information session prior to a recruiting visit. This is an excellent way to promote your company and describe career opportunities within your organization.

View Resumes

With a GoldPASS powered by Handshake account you will be able to view resumes of qualified students and alumni and contact them directly using GoldPASS powered by Handshake.
