Seeking part-time employees?
We appreciate your interest in hiring students from Simmons University. Please complete this form for part-time employment opportunities off-campus. Our office will use the provided information to add your company, along with any available positions and company contact information, to our virtual map.
Please contact the Career Education Center at [email protected] with any questions.
Please note that we do not post job listings from private families or unregistered individuals. Employers must have a business or non-profit license to submit an employer or job approval request to Simmons University. Due to the fact that the university's liability insurance does not cover off-campus employment, Simmons University is unable to work with private individuals or families who wish to submit an employer or job approval request.

To successfully recruit students, we have created a suggested recruiting cycle for you to connect with emerging talent every year.
Fall Recruit: Sept/Oct for Dec Graduates
Spring Recruit: Jan/Feb for May Graduates
Summer Recruit: March/April for Seasonal/Part-time Positions
