What are we looking for?

Here are some tips about what our hiring managers look for during Co-Op recruitment.

A well-written cover letter (recommended) - We use cover letters to learn more about you and how your skills, knowledge, and experience make you a good candidate for our role and our company. This is your chance to stand out and help us see who you are beyond what you can list on a resume.
Extracurricular activities (optional) - If you are involved in extra-curricular activities, please share them in your resume and cover letter. Hearing about these allows us to understand more about who you are.
Transcripts (optional) - Just like extracurricular activities, if you have one feel free to upload yours. Non-official transcripts are perfect. We know there's more to like than grades, but they're part of the picture.
A bespoke application (required) - At Copperleaf, we love artificial intelligence. In fact, we have our own in-house AI tools and strongly encourage our teams to utilize them! However, we're not looking for AI-generated cover letters and resumes. We want to see your writing style and learn more about you.

What Our Co-ops Are Saying

"Copperleaf provided me with an excellent overall co-op experience. The job involved a wide variety of interesting challenges as well as great people to work with and learn from. I would highly recommend considering Copperleaf for a rewarding and memorable work term."

Jeff, previous Software Developer Co-op

"As a software developer co-op student with Copperleaf, I was able to rapidly learn and hone a variety of skills. My co-workers provided an enriching working and learning environment, and I was also given a great amount of independence on the projects I completed."

Yuqing, previous Software Developer Co-op

"I enjoyed my co-op work term here a lot. I had the opportunity to work on a complete feature from server-side functionality to front-end functionality. When I first started at Copperleaf, I was eased into the role with relevant tasks and training that allowed me to build my knowledge on the application before diving into more complicated problems and tasks. I was also able to work with a great team of people. Everyone is very friendly and eager to help or provide suggestions to improve the application from both a development and user perspective. We also knew how to have fun with foosball tournaments and pizza parties. I am thankful I had the opportunity to work in such an amazing environment!"
