STEP 1: POST YOUR CO-OP POSITION

There are two ways to post a co-op position:

• Visit the Hired portal at https://hired.durhamcollege.ca. Create an employer account or log into your account (if you already have one). Use the job posting form to enter the details for the co-op opportunity. Once your posting has been submitted, we will publish the co-op opportunity or contact you for more information. Once approved, the position will be live on Hired for co-op students to view.
• Email your posting directly to us at co-op@durhamcollege.ca and we will post the opportunity on Hired for you. We will reach out to you if we have any questions. You will receive an email with your account information and confirming your job postings.

STEP 2: REVIEW APPLICATIONS

Once the deadline of your co-op opportunity has been reached, a bundle containing the names of the candidates along with their applications will be sent to you unless you have specified a different application method. Applications may consist of cover letters, resumes, unofficial transcripts or all of the above as per your request.

STEP 3: INTERVIEW CANDIDATES

Once you have screened and selected the candidates, there are two ways in which interviews can be scheduled. Interviews can be held at your location, on campus, or virtually.

• You can reach out to the candidates and schedule interviews yourself.
• You can contact the Experiential Learning team, and we will schedule interviews on your behalf. Once the interview schedule has been confirmed, we will contact you with all of the details.

STEP 4: MAKE AN OFFER

Once you have selected the student(s) you would like to hire, there are two ways an offer can be made:

• You can reach out to the successful student and make the offer directly.
• You can contact the Experiential Learning team, and we would be more than happy to extend the offer to the student. Updating a student with a job offer is one of the best parts of the co-op coordinator job!

STEP 5: FINALIZE

Once an offer of employment has been accepted by a student, they will complete documentation on the Hired portal. Once finalized, the co-op coordinator will reach out with the Employer Work Term Agreement which must be signed by an individual with the authority to bind your company.
