Huskies Get Hired

Huskies Get Hired (HGH) is a free online tool that connects NIU students and alumni with faculty/staff and employers. In addition to searching for jobs and internships, the system allows users to post resumes, schedule interviews and much more.

If you're a student, you'll be assigned an HGH account during your first semester at NIU. You can continue to use the system after you graduate. If you're not a recent student, contact us to inquire about creating an account.

You can also log in as an employer or faculty/staff member. 

If you have any questions, contact us at 815-753-1642 or careerservices@niu.edu.
