The Career Development Office (CDO; mcgill.ca/cdo) coordinates various recruitment processes throughout the year. Four of these involve On-Campus Interviews (OCIs): one for U.S. employers (August), one for Vancouver and Calgary employers (September), one for Toronto employers (October), and one for Ottawa employers (January). Students can also take part in organized recruitment processes for other major cities in Canada.

Montreal recruitment is called Course aux stages. During this recruitment period, local firms conduct interviews at their offices. The CDO provides step-by-step support to participants.
