Post a job using the Navigator online portal. More information about the Navigator portal, including services provided, how to login, and creating an account, can be found here.

Or, simply send a job description by email to your co-op coordinator or to lauriercoop@wlu.ca.

You will receive an email with a link to applications after 10 a.m. on the day after the application deadline, unless you asked that students apply through a different method.

Please let us know whether candidates will work remotely, at your location, or in a hybrid of both. If you require students to work on site, please let us know about your pandemic safety protocols.

Primary recruiting period for Fall 2023:

We will begin posting co-op jobs for the fall work term on Thursday, May 11, 2023.
We will continue posting jobs through Wednesday, May 24, 2023.
We will arrange video and phone interviews from May 31 through June 8.
We will schedule in-person interviews on May 31 and June 1. If you wish to interview students in-person, please plan to visit our Waterloo campus one of those days.
Please allow us to schedule interviews on your behalf. (This ensures you are able to enter rankings, and helps us avoid scheduling students for two interviews at the same time.)
Please submit your rankings of students by 9 p.m. on Thursday, June 8.
We will tell you the results of the ranking and matching process in the late afternoon on Tuesday, June 13, 2023.

Note: Please honour our policy that employers and co-op students may not communicate between the interview and the time we release results of the match to students. If you need information from a candidate, please ask a co-op staff member to assist you. Thank you.

Continuous recruiting period for Fall 2023:

We will begin posting jobs on Wednesday, June 14, 2023.
During the continuous recruiting period, you may interview students any business day.
Your co-op coordinator would be pleased to schedule interviews and extend job offers on your behalf, but you may contact students if you prefer.
We will continue posting jobs until all students have secured employment for the spring work term.

Recruiting Process

Once you have sent a job description, we will post the job on the Navigator database.

We will send you instructions on viewing applications.

You will select candidates to interview.

Once you have chosen your candidates, let us know the date, start time and length of the interviews.

Most interviews take place online or by phone; we host some in-person interviews on campus.

We will arrange the interviews and send you a schedule.

Please give us three days' notice, when possible, to schedule interviews. Please let us know:

names of candidates and interviewers

date and start time

length of interview

interval between interviews

length of lunch break

If you interview during the primary recruiting period, you will need to rank students; please scroll down to "Ranking Candidates".

During the continuous employment period, you may interview any business day.

We accept job postings and arrange interviews until all students have found employment.
