On-Campus Recruiting Checklist

On-campus interviews are scheduled Monday through Friday during business hours (8:00 am - 5:00 pm central). There are four popular interview schedule formats to choose from. We are also more than happy to work with you to build a schedule that fits your needs. Note that Owen does not use a bidding system for interview schedules.
