The team provides services that include recruitment and admissions, program management, academic advising, student retention strategies, career and professional development, work-integrated learning opportunities, international exchange, skill-development programming, and support for student life and club activities. The BCom Academic team, in particular, supports a growing and increasingly diverse undergraduate population. The Commerce and IBH degree programs are designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills they need to pursue their career of choice upon graduation, and they benefit from the strong support from Student Services and key campus partners.

The incumbent must demonstrate problem solving and proactiveness in anticipating and mitigating potential issues. The school, faculty, and staff are committed to building an inclusive community supporting all individuals. Programs are delivered on McMaster’s main campus and benefit from significant support from the Student Services team and resources from our campus partners.
Job Summary:
The Recruitment Assistant (Academic) supports established recruitment and conversion activities and processes that will attract high-quality applicants into the Faculty’s undergraduate academic programs. This role contributes across the full recruitment lifecycle, including brand awareness, prospective student outreach and cultivation, admissions assistance, applicant conversion and registrant engagement.
