Bidding Schedule:
The fall and spring recruiting seasons are divided into a series of "Sessions," and employers are assigned to a session depending on the program (on-campus and off-campus) and when they will interview. Each Session has a "Bidding Start" date and a "Bidding End" date. (Bidding means selecting employers with whom you would like to interview and to whom you want your resume sent.)
When you use Symplicity to search for employers, you see information about the sessions. Because new sessions open and close on a regular basis, you must bid within the time deadlines.
