JOB OFFER REPORTING INFORMATION FOR EMPLOYERS
Report Your Job Offers to Your Target Schools—And
Reap the Recruiting Benefits
Increasingly, college career centers are called upon to report
student outcomes, so reporting job offers to your target schools
is one of the best ways you can strengthen your relationship with
those schools.
And while you’re helping your colleagues in career services,
you can also help yourself and your organization.
The information you share with your target schools could become
part of Salary Survey, NACE’s quarterly report of starting
salary offers to bachelor’s- and master’s-degree candidates.
Many organizations rely on Salary Survey to help them structure
and gauge their salary offers to new college graduates. In this
way, Salary Survey benefits you, the recruiter, in meeting
your goals.
Salary Survey incorporates data submitted by college and
university career centers nationwide. Many more would like to participate,
but aren’t getting the help they need from employers—from
you. The more offers reported, the better the Salary Survey
report, the better your organization’s rationale for its salary
offers.
Legal Considerations
Some employers and school officials cite legal concerns as their reason for not releasing salary information about new hires. Please be assured that Salary Survey is published in accordance with federal and state privacy and antitrust laws. Salary Survey meets all the conditions set forth by the U.S. Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission that apply to compensation surveys. You are not violating any statute by submitting salary information. For a detailed discussion of the legal considerations, please see Legal Considerations.
Three Ways to Submit Salary Offers to Your Target Schools
1. Use a Form
Hundreds of employers keep apprised of salary and market trends by collecting data for and using data from Salary Survey. The sample form indicates the type of information employers should submit to the schools where they recruit. The amount of time needed to complete the form is minimal.
If you’d like, you can download and photocopy the form to report job offer information (PDF—requires Adobe Acrobat Reader). The completed form should include the prospective employee’s: major, gender, degree level, yearly starting salary offer, job function, job location, employer type, graduation date, and experience level.
2. Forward copies of your offer letters to career services
You can submit information to your taget schools by fowarding copies of offer letters to relevant career services offices.
3. Forward information from your data base to career services
Or, if you use an applicant tracking system, you can forward information from your data base to your target schools’ data bases.
