Recruiting Guide

Dear Employer,
It has been a pleasure to meet so many of you this year. I enjoyed lunch with many of you while you
were here for on-campus recruiting, and your feedback has been tremendously valuable. Thank you.
We are extremely proud of our students. Everything I heard from you makes me even more proud. You
told me that they are smart and well trained. Any top business school can boast as much. But then you
told me more. You told me about some truly distinctive capabilities. First, our students reflect the kind
of independent, innovative thinking that Berkeley represents. Second, they are particularly well oriented to adding value in
team-based, collaborative ways, in the community spirit that is so much a part of Berkeley. And third, they have confidence
without attitude, which positions them as well for their first job as it does for their last.
I would also like to take this opportunity to announce a new initiativeone that gives you new opportunities to build
your recruiting brand here at Haas. We are developing a set of lead corporate partners who will take our student and
career services to a higher plateau. They will provide leadership in activities such as new-student orientations, student
outreach, networking events, student-run conferences, and many other valuable means for you to connect with our
students. I hope that you will take advantage of these opportunities. For more information, contact Jeff Rhode, Director
of Corporate Relations ([email protected]), or your Account Manager.
My heartfelt thanks to all of you. I look forward to developing our partnership still further over the coming year.
Warmest regards,

Richard K. Lyons

Dear Haas Recruiter,

Thank you for your interest in Berkeley MBAs! The Career Services Office (CSO) is committed to helping your
organization build and execute a successful recruiting strategy. In the past year we have taken a number of new
initiatives in our quest to better serve your recruiting needs:
East Coast Account Manager : In a groundbreaking move, weve assigned an Account Manager to work in New
York City to focus on maximizing opportunities for MBA and MFE students interested in careers in finance and
on forming new partnerships with companies throughout the region.
CSO Advisory Board : We have created an advisory board consisting of current students and Berkeley MBA
alumni active in recruiting. This board will help guide our efforts to further improve your recruiting experience
and meet your hiring needs.
Videoconferenced Interviews : You can meet and interview Haas students without having to travel from your
office, whether it is across the bay, country or ocean. For information on setting up video conferences, please
consult your Account Manager.

We look forward to working with you this year.

having distinguished themselves in
their studies, in their career and in
their community. Once here, they
are challenged daily by the worldclass Haas faculty and their fellow

nuances of doing business in the
global economy through exposure
to the diversity within their own

community of the region.
A tight-knit community, the Haas

attitude thrive. With a mastery of
powerful quantitative tools and an
understanding of the changing
technological, global and human
dimensions of business, Berkeley
MBAs are well prepared to make
a difference in your company.

As in-house counsel, I was increasingly being asked to give non-legal business advice.
The Berkeley MBA gave me the tools to most effectively support my internal business
clients, and ultimately to move into a business role. Without the extensive financefocused curriculum that I have taken at Haas, I would never have qualified for the VP
of Corporate Development position.

The Basics

staff will help you with all of your
logistical tasks. We will provide oncampus parking permits, lunches,

Three of our biggest conferences
are Leading Edge, Women in
Leadership, and the Berkeley Asia

Having worked as a scientist focusing on drug discovery, I came to Haas with the longterm goal of working in venture capital doing biotech investments. With the skills Ive
learned in my classes, internship, and extracurricular activities in entrepreneurship, I now
have a better understanding of what makes a startup biotech firm successful and can
thus be a better investor.

Student Visits

Inviting students to your workplace

provides an excellent introduction
to your companys culture. The
Haas@Work program facilitates
such visits. Go to http://www.haas.
berkeley.edu/alumni/students/
haasatwork.html to learn more.
Guest Lectures and Industry
Topic Courses

Each year, students coordinate a

number of industry-specific courses
that require corporate participation
to succeed. These classes cover
cutting-edge business topics and help
prepare students to work in those
industries. Representatives from
your company can lead a case, offer
timely insight into a real business
problem, or share current research.
Become a Corporate Sponsor

As a Corporate Sponsor, your firm

can choose from a range of activities
that go beyond the typical recruiting
events to not only strengthen its
campus brand but also connect with
Haas faculty, staff, and alumni.
Annual events such as the Haaski
Charity Golf Tournament, the Haas
Gala in San Francisco, or the Menlo
Circus Celebration in Menlo Park
are superb, high visibility networking

events. Or, you can get a jump on

recruiting and meet our newly
admitted students by sponsoring
Orientation Week or one of our
workshops that focuses on diversity
and womens issues. For more information on how your company can
raise its profile at Haas, contact
your Account Manager or Jeff
Rhode, Director of Corporate
Relations (510.642.1907/
[email protected]).

Leveraging the Haas graduates within your firm is one of the easiest
ways to strengthen the ties between
your company and campus. To help
you identify Berkeley MBAs, we can
provide you with a list of graduates
who currently list your company as
their employer.
Alumni Industry Panels

Alumni industry panels provide an

intimate setting for Haas graduates
and current students to share their
insight and experiences.
Sponsor a Consumption Function

Consumption Functions are studentorganized and hosted Haas school

gatherings on Friday afternoons.
Sponsorship of a Consumption

Function provides your company

with an outstanding opportunity to
reach the entire class in a relaxed
and informal setting. For more
information, contact your Account
Manager or the appropriate club
representative listed on page 10.

and undergraduate students at Haas.
For the past 20 years, HaasWeek has

Haas students. For more information, contact 510.642.7480 or
[email protected].
Targeted E-mails

Messages sent to your Account

Manager can be forwarded to
students based on their interest in
full-time jobs or summer internships,
industry, job function, geographic
preference, or an affiliation with a
particular campus organization.

An Excellent Return on Your Investment International Students at Haas

International students comprise one-third of the first- and second-year MBA classes at Haas. Currently, students from 49
countries are enrolled in our program. These students bring outstanding work experience, academic accomplishment, multilingual abilities, and business skills to produce results across cultures.
We encourage you to include them on your interview schedules for both domestic and international positions. International
alumni of the Berkeley MBA program are employed in all industries and functions throughout the US and around the world,
adding valuable cross-cultural insight and business savvy. Just as they have contributed to the Haas community through their
wide range of knowledge and experiences, so too will they make valuable contributions to your organization.
It is not difficult to hire an international student. Most of our MBA students travel to Berkeley to study on an F1 visa, so
work permission for internships is authorized by officials on the Berkeley campus without employer involvement. Graduating
students can work for up to one year under the practical training provision of their F1 visa while their employer applies for
the H1-B visa. Processing time varies but in general requires only three to four months. Foreign citizens can work on an H1-B
visa for an initial period of three years, with a possible extension of three more years. For more information, please contact
your Career Services Account Manager.

On-Campus Recruiting
All the Right Moves in Five Easy Steps

Each year, approximately 75% of

our student body takes part in oncampus recruiting. By following
these steps, your company can select
and interview the best candidates in
an efficient and economical manner.

Scheduling Your On-Campus

Interviews
Please contact your Account
Manager to schedule your
interview dates, keeping the following information in mind:

Position Title and Description

Firms that provide detailed information about the available positions, as

well as some information about the
company and division, consistently
receive the most vigorous response
from students.
Type of Schedule

Closed: Pre-select all of your interviewees based on a resume drop or

other means.
Open: Students bid for the opportunity to be interviewed by you.
Split: (Recommended) Pre-select
some of your candidates and allow
interested students to bid for the
remaining slots. This ensures a
balanced mix of students whose
backgrounds fit your needs, as well
as students who are very interested
in the company.
Rotating: Can be closed, open or
split. Allows two interviewers to see
a single candidate in back-to-back
interviews.
Length of Interviews

Generally, firms choose to conduct

30 minute interviews (12 students
per schedule) or 45 minute interviews
(8 students per schedule). However,
we are happy to amend the standard
template to your specific needs.

Presentations

If you plan to conduct a presentation

in the fall, we recommend that you
hold it at least one month before
your interview date so that it will
occur prior to your resume drop.
Presentations for Berkeley MBA
students should take place either
at 12:30-2:00 p.m. or 6:00-7:30 p.m.
Most presentations are held in the
UCB Faculty Club, just behind the
Haas School of Business. Please
contact Barbara Bybee, Faculty
Club Presentation Coordinator, at
510.642.2119 for more information.

Populating Your Schedule:

Resume Drops and Invite Lists
If you choose to conduct
closed or split schedules, we
will manage a company-specific
resume drop approximately one
month prior to your interview date.
We will then forward the resumes to
you via e-mail.

We also recommend that you order

a complete Student Resume Book
set. This is an excellent tool for
identifying interview candidates
and can be ordered online at
http://www.haas.berkeley.edu/
careercenter/employers.html.
Two weeks prior to your visit, you
should return your candidate list to
us. We will invite and schedule the
students for you. For schedules with
open slots, we will conduct the bid
process and award slots to the
highest bidders.

Coming to Campus
We will send your final schedule along with driving directions and logistical information a
few days before your interview date.
Parking passes may be mailed to
your interviewers with at least one

weeks prior notice. Typically, interviews begin at 8:30 a.m. in the Haas
Recruitment Center, room S330. On
the day of the interviews, we suggest
that you arrive at least 15 minutes
before your first interview to obtain
a parking pass, park, acclimate yourself, and prepare for the day. Upon
arrival, you will be provided with a
packet of information including
your updated schedule and resumes
for the students that you will meet.

Final Rounds, Follow Up, and

Feedback
Since firms have varying
timetables for advanced interviews, we ask that you keep students
appraised of their status throughout
your hiring process. Students greatly
appreciate open communication,
regardless of the final outcome of
their candidacy. We also ask that
after your interviews, please be sure
to complete the Recruiters Survey,
which provides us with valuable
feedback.

The Offer
Accepting an offer is the culmination of a students time
at Haas. It is an important decision
that requires the time to ensure that
it is right for both the student and
your firm. We ask that you provide
students who have received full-time
offers until December 15, or at least
three weeks from the date of the
offer, whichever comes later, to
decide. We ask that you provide
students who have received internship offers until March 15, or at
least three weeks from the date of
the offer, whichever comes later, to
decide.

Helpful Tips for Recruiters

Job Descriptions

Parking

Let students pre-screen themselves

by providing a detailed job description. Be sure to include information
on job locations and work authorization requirements.

Parking on the UC Berkeley campus

can be difficult, even with a parking
permit. Use public transportation,
take a taxi or try to arrange a carpool
with other recruiters from your
company. You can find information
on local transportation services on
page 12 or contact us with further
questions.

Split Your Schedule

After speaking at Haas last year, Deloitte & Touche USA

chairman Sharon Allen meets with a group of Berkeley MBA
hires. Deloitte is a top recruiter of Haas School graduates.

Advertising

The buildings of the Haas School of

Business are home to students from
several academic programs. For your
MBA presentation and on-campus
interview dates, be sure to specify
MBA in your ad in HaasWeek,
the MBA student newspaper, and
also on any flyers or other materials
youd like for us to post in the hallways of Haas.
Consolidate Your Recruiting Efforts

You may have several divisions of

your company hiring MBAs.
Designate one representative from
your company as the Haas Team
Lead to centralize your recruiting
strategy across your firm. You can
build a more powerful brand on
campus the more you combine
efforts with other divisions.

A split interview schedule allows

the employer to select a number of
candidates and also for students to
select employers through a bidding
process. This way, companies have a
mix of students whose backgrounds
fit their needs, as well as the opportunity to meet students who show a
very strong interest in the company.
Printed Materials

Make sure to bring business cards

with you. If you have corporate
literature or applications for the
students to fill out, you can send
them to us in advance of your
presentation or interviews. We can
keep any extra literature here or ship
it back to your office, as you prefer.
Choosing Your Corporate
Representatives

Interviewers and presenters from

functional areas who have been with
the company for a while are ideal.
We especially encourage alumni
participation, since their support and
enthusiasm are valued by students
and corporate staffing alike.

Watch the Clock

With a full day of interviews, its

important to stay on schedule. Be
aware of your (or your interviewers)
style and needs, and choose from
30, 45 or 60 minute interview slot
options.
Follow Up

Students really appreciate hearing

from a company soon after their
first interview, even if they have
not made it to the next interview
round. Let them know at the interview what your follow-up process
and time frame will be. It provides
a good impression not only with the
student, but enhances the companys
reputation with the student body.
Offer Guidelines

Accepting an offer of employment

requires the proper amount of time
for an MBA student to make an
educated decision. While we understand that some hiring decisions may
be under tight deadlines, by honoring our Offer Guidelines your new
relationship will start off on the
right foot.

Real-world experience is key at Haas. During my time here I have learned how to apply
my classroom lessons to be a better leader and a better teammate. With offers from
firms on both the west and east coasts, I can honestly attribute the success Ive had in
the business environment to the experience I have had at Haas.

Planning Your Visit to Berkeley

Getting Here from There

Traveling to the San Francisco

Bay Area
Travelers to the San Francisco Bay Area
may fly in to either Oakland or San
Francisco. The San Francisco International
Airport (SFO) is located on the peninsula
south of the city, across the bay from
Berkeley. The Oakland International Airport
(OAK) is smaller and closer to Berkeley. You
can take public transportation from both
airports. A taxi to Berkeley costs approximately $35-40 from OAK versus $45-50
from SFO.

Public Transportation to Berkeley

From the Oakland Airport, take the
AirBART shuttle ($2; purchase your ticket
at the machine in the terminal before boarding the shuttle, runs every 10 min.) to the
Coliseum/Oakland Airport BART station.
Then take the Richmond BART train
($1.90) to the Downtown Berkeley station.
Once outside of the Downtown Berkeley
station, board the UC Berkeley Campus
Perimeter Shuttle (50 cents) at the corner
of Shattuck Avenue and Center Street, in
front of Bank of America. Get off at the
Haas School of Business stop.

From the San Francisco Airport (SFO), we

recommend that you use one of the airport
shuttles or taxi cab companies noted above.
If youd like, you may take BART from SFO
to Berkeley by first taking the free AirTrain
to the SFO BART station. Take the
Richmond BART train ($5.50) to the
Downtown Berkeley station. Follow the
above directions from the Berkeley station
to the Haas School.

Parking on Campus
Parking is very limited on the Berkeley campus
and parking regulations are strictly enforced.
When you arrive at Haas, please turn into the
Kleeberger parking lot, on Gayley Rd./
Piedmont Ave., directly across the street from
the school. For your on-campus interviews,
you may request that a parking permit be
mailed to you in advance. Or, when you arrive
at Haas, a member of our staff will greet you

12

at the loading zone with a parking permit

between 8:00 and 8:30 a.m. If you arrive at
any other time, to avoid being ticketed,
please write RECRUITING on a piece of
paper and place it on your dashboard. This
does not constitute a parking permit, but
will give you a few minutes to come into the
Career Center for the official permit. If you do
not do this, you may be ticketed. To enter the
Career Center, proceed toward the school,
turning left under the arch. The Career
Center, Room S430, will be directly in front
of you. Pick up a parking permit from the
Career Center receptionist. Be sure the permit is clearly and completely scratched out
and that you leave it hanging face-out from
your rearview mirror. Park your car across
the street in the Kleeberger/Optometry lot.
Even in this lot not all spaces are available to
you, so please follow posted instructions.
You may call your Account Manager if you
have any questions about parking.
