DiggerNet
DiggerNet, a Symplicity product, is a one-stop shop for employers to promote open positions, collect applications, register for events, request interviews, and more. The DiggerNet system reaches campus wide and beyond, used by all students and recent grads, and participating alumni.
Employers are invited to recruit at the Colorado School of Mines through DiggerNet, at no cost for entry-level full-time, part-time, co-op, or internship positions. The Mines Career Center serves current students and alumni up to two years after graduation. For positions requiring more than two years of experience, please contact the Mines Alumni Association at weare.mines.edu.
Career Days
The Mines Career Days are one of the largest in the Rocky Mountain Region, hosting hundreds of employers from across the nation and beyond. With thousands of students, alumni, and faculty attending, these large events hosted each Fall and Spring semester are a must for recruiters to connect with our students, network with industry peers, and find the impressive talent you are looking to hire.
Info Tables/Sessions
Information sessions or tabling provide you with an opportunity to brand your company, kick off an on-campus recruiting event, and/or connect with particular student organizations. The Career Center will work with you to determine whether an info session or tabling event is right for you.
*Info Session – 1-hour presentation and networking with students in a pre-arranged room. Information sessions are a good fit for employer partners who have previously engaged on campus through other recruitment services.
*Info Tabling – 3-hour informal tabling in a high-visibility location on campus. Reaches a wide range of students, prior branding not necessary.
Interviews
Interview and recruiting at the Colorado School of Mines is centralized through the Career Center making your experience efficient, optimal, and seamless. Mines has various interviewing opportunities including virtual, phone, room only, and pre-select options. Schedule on-campus interviews and let the Career Center take care of the logistics!
