Principles for Employer Professionals
11. Adhering to career services policies
"Employment professionals will cooperate with the policies and procedures of the career services office, including certification of EEO compliance or exempt status under the Immigration Reform and Control Act, and will honor scheduling arrangements and recruitment commitments.”
Intent
To ensure students are treated fairly.
Rationale
The policies and procedures of the career services office are intended
to honor the three precepts of the Principles document, i.e.,
maintaining "an open and free selection of employment opportunities,"
"a recruitment process that is fair and equitable to candidates
and employing organizations," and "informed and responsible
decision-making by candidates."
Beyond confirming its adherence to the law of the land, fairness
demands that the employing organizations make good on its commitments.
While unforeseen changes in hiring needs create a legitimate reason
for canceling or postponing an interview date or withdrawing an
offer of employment, the employing organization's recruitment plan
should reflect careful and professional planning. Likewise, when
offers must be withdrawn due to unforeseen circumstances, the employer
should engage in a good faith effort to minimize the harm done to
the student.
