Ready to partner: Building strong relationships

We’re immensely proud of the partnerships we’ve built with organizations in Canada and across the globe. In working with these employers, we’ve created lasting partnerships that benefit our students and their recruitment needs.

KPMG

We care for diversity in our hiring and appreciate schools with support for inclusion in recruitment processes. We are looking for wellrounded students that have involvement outside of their course work, i.e. campus clubs, community volunteer work.

Rotman Commerce students are always polite and personable at every interaction we have experienced. Students come prepared when networking with great questions and usually have done research on the firm in advance. We appreciate that the students at Rotman Commerce get involved on and off campus, helping in the community, and show their passions on their application! RCAS Air conference was a great student-run initiative where we were able to network with candidates from Rotman Commerce – particularly in Accounting.

Career Services is always personable and responsive. We really appreciate the efforts in promoting our events and opportunities to students, as it is one of the key channels in how we communicate and promote to students on-campus.

TD Bank

We appreciate that the reputation of the Rotman Commerce Program attracts diverse students from across the globe. These students are smart, inquisitive and well rounded.

Our partnership with Career Services is key to the success of our talent strategy to attract the best and brightest students. We have a strong relationship with our Relationship Manager who understands our business and keeps us abreast of trends across the industry. They are fully committed and engaged to ensure our events are a success. The last year has been a challenge for organizations and students to connect virtually. With their support we quickly and seamlessly rolled out our TD Coffee Chat Series. We truly see them as an extension of our team as they are fully committed to our strategy, are always connecting the best students to our opportunities and they effortlessly highlight our brand and support us through busy recruitment cycles.

Our participation in the Careers in Capital Markets session provided our TD Securities Recruiter the opportunity to sit on a panel with other companies and answer students’ questions first hand. These focused sessions allow us to openly talk about the opportunities we have and the unique experiences students will receive as part of our co-op/ intern and new graduate programs. The Commerce students are always highly engaged and keep us on our toes with all their great questions.

Nestlé

We partner with universities across Canada that provide opportunities to diverse talent pools. We also look for universities that provide their students with ample resources to learn, grow, and succeed as young professionals. Additionally, we leverage our Ambassador program to enable Nestlé employees to return to their respective universities as alumni to speak to current students about their candidate experience at Nestlé and what is it like to be a Nestlé employee.

Rotman Commerce students ask great questions and are open to taking initiative, two very important skills. They graduate with a solid understanding of their strengths and how they will be able to add value to an organization.

We hosted two events last year, an Info Session and a series of Mock Interview Sessions. It was the Mock Interview Sessions that the students’ skills were really highlighted, as they had the opportunity to practice giving a real interview with a Nestlé representative and receive immediate feedback on their performance. We were impressed with the preparation the students had done, as well as the calibre of their responses and their past experience.

The Rotman Commerce Career Services partners well with us to deliver information sessions, events, and workshops, and their high level of attention to detail and passion for helping students is genuinely appreciated.

L’Oréal

Some of the key components that L’Oréal looks for when recruiting from schools includes the quality of education, diversity, engagement of students in different extracurricular programs/ activities and a supportive career center.

At L’Oréal, we appreciate Rotman Commerce students as they are engaged with our company and our Brandstorm competition, have solid and diverse extracurricular backgrounds and display great performance & attitude during events and internships

We appreciate the Rotman Commerce Career Services team for their good communication, support and openness to collaborate on different activities with their students. We are looking forward to build on the already established relations with their team.
