Employers & Recruiters

Throughout the year we work directly with employers, graduate schools, and nonprofits to host on-campus recruiting events to match your needs with the talents and career goals of TLU students. We also offer a TLU Career Link page for prospective employers.

Employers can quickly and easily post jobs, internships and volunteer opportunities, choose to receive “online applications” directly from the system with current resumes attached, sign up for career fairs and much more.

Recruiters, employers, and alumni are all welcome to use their employer account on TLU Career Link to post information online about available opportunities, view students via their visual profiles and manage their on-campus presence. This is a great way to recruit talented students, soon-to-be-graduates, and alumni to your workplace.
