How to hire a Co-op student

Our work terms run parallel to university semesters.

The more detail included, the better. Specify the number of positions offered, along with application deadline and the start date, if these have been established. You can post your job desciption yourself on our online system at icope.concordia.ca after creating a profile on Compass or send it to the Institute if you encounter any issues. We’ll post the jobs on our online system (COMPASS) for five business days unless otherwise specified by you. Students can also apply directly via your website or by email.

• Returning Co-op employers can post directly in COMPASS
• First-time employers should send an email to coopinstitute@concordia.ca for instructions
  

Once you have selected the students you wish to interview, please schedule your interviews directly on our online database Compass. You may choose to interview at your location or at the Co-op offices on our downtown Montreal campus. Employers outside of Montreal can conduct interviews by phone or online through a video connection. Should you wish to schedule phone or video conference interviews, please be sure to include your contact information (i.e. telephone number, email address; Skype ID). For more help, click the following links:
