Principles for Employer Professionals
12. Recruiting for international offices
"Employment professionals recruiting for international operations will do so according to EEO standards. Employment professionals will advise the career services office and students of the realities of working in that country and of any cultural or foreign law differences.”
(Intent / Rationale / Resources)
Intent
Students should be treated fairly and be empowered to make well-considered
decisions about international employment.
Rationale
Employers seeking to fill positions in their internationally-based
offices may be dealing with customs and laws that are not acceptable
in the United States. This principle affirms that organizations
recruiting to fill positions through campus recruiting in the United
States, may not screen out students who, due to their American citizenship,
might not be fully considered back in the home country. At the same
time, so that American students are able to make a fully rational
decision about interviewing, it is imperative that they understand
that they may not be seriously considered or might run into roadblocks
that would not be placed before them in the United States. For example,
an American woman looking for work with an American company in their
Middle East offices should be aware of restrictions placed on women
in those countries. The student is then free to decide whether or
not to pursue these opportunities.
