Recruiter Testimonials
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP
"As an SOM alum myself, there is a natural bias when it comes to talking about the quality of education and preparedness for the business world the school provides. Our firm has been fortunate to have such a long and strong relationship with School of Management at all levels. We are our one of the schools largest employers, if not THE largest. It is also important to note that the school is one of our firm's largest sources for talent in the Northeast. The good people at the Chase Career Center are really an extended family to those of us who work with them throughout the year. I would encourage students to take advantage of this great resource-- not just to sign up for formal recruiting, but to get insight and guidance on developing some recruiting savvy and skills towards being successful during interviews and in the workplace. You will find them extremely helpful and responsive in getting you ready for the next step of your life after college. The students we hire do well because they have both the technical skills as well as the critical teamwork, communication, and leadership skills necessary to succeed in a big firm environment. All of these skills can be developed and fostered through the Chase Career Center, the School of Management, and the University at large. Seize the opportunities before you!"

Sherwin-Williams
"I travel to colleges throughout the Northeast recruiting for Sherwin-Williams' Management Training Program and entry-level outside sales positions. By far, SOM is my favorite school to visit; my expectations are always met, if not exceeded! Richard Fein and his staff take a sincere interest in their students and are extremely proactive in acquainting students with their services. Their communication with recruiters is exceptional and they are always looking for ways to keep current with the world outside the academic bubble. Likewise, my interaction with business professors and student organizations has also been favorable. As a result, I find SOM students to be far more prepared than those from other colleges. Job fairs and on-campus interviews are always well attended; students are enthusiastic, prepared, and dressed to impress."

Enterprise Rent-A-Car
"Enterprise Rent-A-Car has been actively recruiting and hiring both interns and graduates from the University of Massachusetts Isenberg School of Management for more than eight years. The students that are graduates of ISOM are typically well-rounded, aggressive, well-prepared business students. Enterprise actively participates in out-of-the-classroom activities such as practice interviews, career fairs and on campus interviews, which helps prepare students for the interview process in real-life settings. We highly encourage students to take advantage of the benefits that the Chase Career Center has to offer, and to seek their guidance as they pursue career opportunities. Enterprise Rent-A-Car is currently the largest recruiter of college graduates in the United States, and we greatly rely on Isenberg SOM’s Career Center for directing their top talent our way!
