Policies
University Career Services is eager to assist employers to interact with our students to inform and interest them in career and internship opportunities. University Career Services offers assistance to employers and individuals in accordance with the Principles of Professional Conduct for Career Services Professionals outlined by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE). Likewise, UCS expects that employers act in accordance with the Principles of Professional Conduct for Employment Professionals outlined by NACE. These principles have guided our policy for university recruiting activities.
Employment Offers/Job Acceptance Guidelines
Given the current unique business conditions, we feel it is necessary to revisit our job acceptance guidelines and provide the flexibility that employers need this year, while still providing some protection for our students. If the current environment does not allow an employer to abide by our acceptance date guidelines (see below), we have requested that, at minimum, students be given 3 weeks from the date of the offer to make a decision. Students who have already been extended an offer over three weeks ago should be given a minimum of 10 days to make a decision.
UCS requests that you abide by the following offer policy to allow our students sufficient time to carefully consider their employment options and to make informed decisions.
- Full-time Offers to Your Summer 2009 Interns
Students should be given until November 7, 2009 to accept/decline offers so that they may participate in fall on-campus recruiting.
- Full-time Offers from Fall 2009 On-Campus Recruiting
Students graduating in May-August 2010 should be given until December 1, 2009 or a minimum of three weeks (whichever comes later) to accept/decline offers.
Students graduating in December 2009 should be given a minimum of three weeks from the date of the offer to accept/decline.
- Full-time Offers from Spring 2010 On-Campus
Recruiting
Students should be given until March 1, 2010 or a minimum of three weeks (whichever comes later) to accept/decline offers
- Internship Offers for Summer 2010
Students should be given until February 19, 2010 or a minimum of one week (whichever comes later) to accept/decline offers.
UCS requests that you not make exploding offers to students or make any offer that does not allow for timely consideration by our students, as stated in the above guidelines.
In the spirit of collaboration, we hope that you will inform us of any offers you make that must be withdrawn or significantly changed and also that you let us know of any of our students who renege on an acceptance of an internship or full-time job offer.
General UCS Policies
- One Recruiter Per Interview
We request that no more than one recruiter interview a student at a time. Exceptions to this policy must be approved in advance by the Director. - Straight Commission
Employers with "straight commission" positions may request UCS to reserve a room for a group presentation. We do not schedule individual interview sessions for straight commission positions. Employers with “straight commission” jobs may not attend UCS career fairs with the exception of the Internship and Spring Fairs. - Third Parties / Contract Recruiters
Third parties (employment agencies and search firms) may list openings online; however, they may not recruit on-campus, receive student resume referrals, or attend our career fairs. Contract recruiters may recruit on-campus provided that they recruit for one employer only and identify that employer. - EEOC and Testing
Only Equal Opportunity Employers may use UNC facilities. Tests administered on campus must be validated by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Company representatives must conduct their own testing. - Facility Use
Interview and presentation facilities arranged by University Career Services are to be used solely to speak with students from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill who are eligible for service from University Career Services. Exceptions to this policy must be requested of the Director in advance of your visit. UCS has the right to request names of candidates interviewed in instances where an organization is setting-up its own schedule. - NACE Principles
Employers recruiting at UNC-Chapel Hill are expected to adhere to the National Association of Colleges and Employers Principles of Recruiting and Employment. We will be glad to provide you with a copy of the Principles upon request. - Individuals with Disabilities
University Career Services at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is committed to ensuring that all students, faculty and employers are afforded every opportunity to participate in the activities offered by this Office. If, due to a disability, you require accommodation to utilize our services, please contact the office at (919)-962-6507 and let us know how we may assist you.
On-Campus Recruiting
Activities
All recruiting activities (except those related to MBA,
Master
of Accounting, Law,
Medical, and Dental programs) should
be arranged through UCS. Recruiting activity should take place in UCS’
facilities unless permission is granted by the Director of UCS.
Recruiting activities shall be understood to mean any formal inquiry, request, or visit by an outside agency, business, institution, or organization, the primary purpose of which is to interest students/alumni in employment, independent contracting, service, or educational opportunity with that agency, business, institution, or organization. Recruiting activities include, but are not limited to: on-campus interviews, career fairs, presentations, campus information tables, and opportunities advertised on university bulletin boards or via university online services. Any classroom activity related to recruiting must be done with permission of the faculty member.
Recruiting Qualifications
Employers and individuals representing employment opportunities must meet
the following qualifications to use UCS services:
- Must adhere to federal and North Carolina state EEO guidelines.
- Must not solicit or sell their products or services during the course of recruiting.
- Must fully disclose to UCS and students/alums the structure of their compensation packages and business costs incurred up through the first year of employment. This includes salary, duration of salary, training allowance, incentive programs, stock options, commission structure, benefits, and any costs borne by the employee/applicant/independent contractor including testing, licenses, classes, travel expenses and equipment.
- Must clearly indicate the employing organization name and contact information on any flyers and must not overstate possible compensation.
Employers/individuals may post employment/independent contracting and straight commission opportunities on the UCS online posting site and may offer group presentations scheduled by UCS. They may not conduct individual campus interviews. Career Fair participation is determined by the policy for the particular fair.
Final approval to use UCS’ facilities and services rests with the Director of UCS and may be revoked if these policies or the NACE Principles are violated. The permission to use UNC-Chapel Hill’s facilities does not imply University approval or endorsement of the policies, practices, or products/services of the recruiting organization/individual.
Activities Other Than On-Campus Recruiting
Very often, employers/individuals provide lecturers, films, speakers,
specialized assistance, and other forms of support to the educational
programs of UNC-Chapel Hill. Where these activities are not directly related
to the recruiting effort, it is understood that approval of arrangements
by University Career Services need not be sought. However, the cooperation
of faculty, students/alums, and employers/individuals in keeping UCS officials
informed of such developments is strongly encouraged as being in the best
interest of UNC Chapel Hill.
