Forbes showcased the Georgia Tech Advanced Technology Development Center in a recent listing of Ten Technology Incubators Changing the World, noting that in the last 30 years the ATDC has launched more than a hundred new ventures and raised over $1 billion in outside financing for member companies. The article touted the economic benefits to communities that host technology incubators, benefits clearly visible to the employees of ATDC companies.
Since the Bayh-Dole Act gave universities ownership of intellectual property developed with federal funds, technology transfer offices and associated startup incubators have popped up all over the country. But there is something special about the ATDC. Close proximity to the Georgia Tech engineering and computer science colleges and strong relationships with other Georgia universities provide a dedicated stream of new technologies. This rich source of ideas as well as a local community dedicated to building an innovation center in Atlanta has made the ATDC the de facto hub of entrepreneurial activity in the State of Georgia. Gaining recognition from Forbes is a well-deserved reward for so many great people at the ATDC and in the community who have worked long and hard to foster a thriving startup ecosystem in Georgia.
ATDC gets a number of requests from startups to recruit and hire Georgia Tech students. This is the second in a series explaining how to go about doing so. This article covers recruiting out of the College of Computing.
The College of Computing has its own specific online resource to place students. You should browse the College of Computing job opportunities board and then complete the job opportunities submission form for your particular openings. To get the most visibility you should also use CareerBuzz as outlined last week.
College of Computing students are in great demand and will usually only consider positions that they consider to be cutting edge cool. Thus you should emphasize the most challenging aspects of the job. If you’re an ATDC company in Tech Square or walking distance to Tech and you need part time/interns, emphasize proximity to campus. Be as clear as possible about compensation and whether or not international students will be considered/sponsored for visas. Again, if there is the possibility for part-time/internship leading to full time employment after graduation, certainly let students know.
Georgia Tech College of Computing undergraduate students typically expect to be paid $50,000 a year for full-time positions and $15 – 20 an hour for part-time and internship positions.

You need to be very clear about the job in the description, especially the location, salary and job requirements. If you’re seeking a part-time/intern student, emphasize proximity to Tech campus (a big plus for our incubator residents). If there is the possibility for part-time/internship leading to full time employment after graduation, certainly let students know. For all job types, indicate whether or not international students will be considered for visa sponsorship.
You can post any type of position on CareerBuzz including full-time, part-time, and internships. Georgia Tech students typically expect to be paid $50,000 a year for full-time positions and $15 – 20 an hour for part-time and internship positions.
