Frequently Asked Questions
What kinds of jobs do you fill?
We source candidates for on-campus, part-time employment. This includes one-time, multi-day, project-based, and multi-semester placements. Students may not work more than 20 hours/week while classes are in session.
What is the turnaround time?
Turnaround time depends on the nature of the position. For positions requiring a higher level of skill or a unique skillset, our staff will need additional time to carefully source your candidates.
How did the program get started?
The NU Student Temps program was developed to bridge the gap between work opportunities and our student population. Many of our students come to us with years of experience. They are capable, reliable, and eager to work.
Why is there a service fee?
The NU Student Temps program staff does the work of sourcing, recruiting, and screening applicants. Revenue generated by the service is used to fund scholarships for Northeastern University students.
What's the difference between NU Student Temps and general student employment?
The NU Student Temps program does the work for you—we’ll find qualified applicants and forward them to you for direct placement, or for your final review. Then, we’ll process the hire. In contrast, general student employment requires you to advertise your position, review resumes, interview candidates, process the hires, and respond to all applicants.
