Stanford students hunting for summer jobs have two campus recruiting stops on Tuesday, April 21: a startup fair run by ASES and Stanford’s university-wide Spring Career Fair. (luma.com) (careered.stanford.edu) The ASES event says it will bring 70-plus startups to the Arrillaga Center for Sports and Recreation at 341 Galvez St., with DoorDash, Cognition, Modal, Sentry, Baseten, Rho and Tavus listed among the employers. RSVP pages say students who register can have their resumes shared with participating companies after the event. (luma.com) Stanford Career Education lists its Spring Career Fair for the same day, April 21, 2026, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Pacific at McCaw Hall in the Frances C. Arrillaga Alumni Center. The school says career fairs are meant to connect students with employers for jobs and internships and to show what skills recruiters are seeking. (careered.stanford.edu 1) (careered.stanford.edu 2) ASES is Affiliated Stanford Entrepreneurial Students, a campus entrepreneurship group founded in 1989 to connect student entrepreneurs at Stanford and in other chapters worldwide. Its career fair pitch centers on venture-backed startups across artificial intelligence, fintech, infrastructure and developer tools. (ases.stanford.edu) (luma.com) Stanford Career Education says thousands of students attended its career fairs last year, and the office has spent the run-up to April 21 hosting preparation sessions on resumes, interviews and fair strategy. One workshop, “How to Prepare for the Spring Career Fair,” was scheduled for April 16. (careered.stanford.edu 1) (careered.stanford.edu 2) The startup fair arrives as Stanford’s broader recruiting calendar moves into late April, with an Ivy+ virtual job and internship fair held on April 9 and an Atlantic Coast Conference virtual career fair set for April 22. That puts the ASES event in the middle of the campus’s main spring hiring week. (careered.stanford.edu) Startup recruiting has long been a draw on campus. Stanford’s Business Association of Stanford Entrepreneurial Students says its own Startup Career Fair has drawn more than 1,000 Stanford students in past years, underscoring how crowded the market is for technical interns and new graduates. (bases.stanford.edu) For students, the immediate deadline is Tuesday: one fair offers a concentrated startup lineup and resume sharing, while the university fair offers a broader employer mix a short walk away on the same campus.
