Recruiter in Residence

We have a limited number of recruiter in residence dates available for 2024/25 academic year. Please contact employer-events@exeter.ac.uk to discuss with the team.

Recruiter in Residence sessions allow you to meet with students one-to-one in a quiet, focused setting. The space provided allows you to discuss a variety of topics with individual students, whether relating to a specific question or support through your recruitment process.

Please bear in mind that all physical bookings require robust risk assessments and protocols to be followed in order for them to go ahead.
