In addition to posting job announcements on Handshake, employers can email job announcements or flyers for distribution to select faculty and staff to share with students and alumni. Distribution is tailored by industry and degree-programs.

Employers can schedule recruiting tables on any of the four Aims campuses.

Recruiting tables are available Tuesday through Thursday between 9am-3pm most weeks in the fall and spring semesters.

Recruiting Table Guidelines 

• In order to recruit on Aims campuses you must post your open positions on Aim's online student job board, powered by Handshake. If positions are not posted the day prior to your scheduled recruitment day, we will request that you reschedule your visit.
• Recruiting tables be scheduled at least one week in advance. Without one week notice we cannot guarantee advertising. 
• Employer brings materials that clearly display your organization's name as well as brochures, business cards, job description, hiring flyers, and information on how to apply. You are also welcome to bring promotional items or giveaways (no food, unless individually wrapped). Recruiters who require an electric connection will need to bring an extension cord. 
• Employers refrain from aggressive recruitment tactics while on campus. 

Tabling on the Greeley campus will be in the Student Commons; however, if you're recruiting for specific positions from our career and technical programs, we will do our best to place your table in those classroom buildings. 

Fill out this form to request a table or email careerservices@aims.edu .

Career Services follows general NACE guidelines in working with third-party agencies (temporary agencies, temp-to-hire agencies, train-to-hire agencies, etc.) and will provide assistance to third-party agencies meeting the following general criteria:

• Charge no fees to candidates.
• Reveal the identity of the employer(s) being represented in the posting.
• In accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), release candidate information only to the identified employer. Re-disclosure of candidate information to other employers or entities is not permitted without the explicit written consent of the candidate.
• Provide a position description for a valid opening.
• Comply with federal and state Equal Employment Opportunity laws.

Career Services also aligns its practices for approving non-credit internship postings to NACE’s recommendations for what an internship should include:

• A learning experience with a real-world opportunity to apply the knowledge gained in the classroom. It must not be simply to advance the operations of the employer or replace the work that a regular employee would routinely perform.
• Clearly defined learned skills and knowledge that are transferable to other employment settings, this is achieved through the development of learning objectives/goals supportive of the students academic program goals.
• A defined beginning and end that is mutually agreed upon.
• A position description with clear responsibilities and required/desired qualifications.
• Direct supervision by a professional(s) with relevant expertise and educational and/or professional experience who provide productive feedback, guidance, and the resources and equipment necessary to successfully complete the assignment.
• Meet the FLSA Primary Beneficiary Test (PBT) to determine whether an intern or student is, in fact, an employee under the FLSA.
• Provide workers’ compensation insurance for all paid interns as required by state law.
• 1099 contract employees are not considered interns.

Please note the difference between volunteering and an internship. Volunteering involves offering your time and skills to support a cause or organization without a primary focus on career development, while interning entails gaining practical, career-oriented experiences within a specific field or industry.
