Adherence to National and State Guidelines

作为一个大学协会的成员s and Employers (NACE), Wellesley Career Education adheres to the NACE Principles for Career Services and Employment Professionals. All employers who wish to partner with us will be expected to review and follow allNACE Principlesfor Ethical Professional Practice, theEqual Employment Opportunity (EEO) Recruitment and Employment Guidelines, and the laws established by the federal government and the state of Massachusetts. These guidelines are a reflection of these national standards.

Non-Discrimination Policy

Wellesley College is committed to providing equal opportunity in employment and education to all employees, students, and applicants and to making its programs and campus accessible and compliant with all applicable nondiscrimination laws. No employee or student shall be discriminated against or harassed on the basis of race, religion, color, sex, age, ethnic or national origin or ancestry, veteran status, physical or mental disability, pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, genetic information, veteran or military status, membership in Uniformed Services, or any category protected by applicable state and federal laws. SeeCommitment to Non-Discrimination.

Therefore, Wellesley Career Education will not tolerate illegal discrimination in any form. Any acts of such discrimination by representatives will be reported to the hiring company or organization.

Scheduling Interviews

Employer partners are welcome to request an interview schedule through Handshake for their first-round interview processes. For second-round or other interview schedules administered outside of Handshake, employers are asked to make every effort to accommodate candidates’ class and first-round interviews schedules. Please demonstrate reasonable flexibility by providing student candidates with alternate dates for an interview when possible. Employers may not assign students an interview time slot without first offering options.

Offer Policy and Decision Timeline

Reasonable efforts should be made on the part of employers to allow students adequate time for evaluating internship and full time job opportunities. Likewise, students are also coached by Career Education on the importance of evaluating their offers carefully and promptly, and declining additional recruiting opportunities in the form of interviews, applications, and offers once they have accepted an initial offer.

Below is our best practice recommendation regarding offer timelines; however, we encourage all employers to present students with a reasonable amount of time in which they are able to assess and accept offers. We also recommend that employers consider extending offer timelines when necessary as well as keep an open line of communication with students throughout the entire offer/acceptance process.

Former Interns:Students who are offered a full-time position (or another internship) after completing an internship should have until November 1 or two weeks after receiving the written offer, whichever is later, to accept or decline. This allows students time to participate in fall on-campus recruiting if they so choose.

Fall Recruiting for Summer 2022 Opportunities:Students who are offered full-time or internship positions during the fall semester should have until November 1 or at least two weeks from receipt of the written offer, whichever is later, to accept/decline.

Spring Recruiting for Summer 2022 Opportunities:Students who are offered full-time or internship positions during the spring semester should have at least two weeks from receipt of the written offer to accept/decline.

For opportunities that begin in 2023 or for other offer circumstances that fall outside of these guidelines, please contact our office for consultation atrecruiting@wellesley.edu.

Exploding Offers:Participating companies should not pressure students into accepting so-called exploding offers. Career Education defines exploding offers as those that require a student to reply within an unusually short period of time (example: one day), has a special incentive for early acceptance, or any practices that improperly influences and affects job offer acceptances.

保密

Participating companies are expected to maintain the confidentiality of all student and alumnae information. All materials received from our students and alumnae (letters, resumes, transcripts, via email or hard copy), should be shared only with those persons at your firm involved in the hiring process. Sharing information about a candidate with another organization is not acceptable unless the company receives prior written consent from the candidate.

Reporting New Hire Data

When requested by Career Education staff, participating companies will supply information regarding students who have been hired to fill full-time, internship, or other related positions. Requested information may include but is not limited to the student’s name, title and division or unit within the organization, the geographic location of the position, the employment start date, and the compensation.

Guidelines For Third-Party Recruiters

Employment agencies and search firms may list openings on Handshake as long as they clearly identify themselves as third-party recruiters in their employer profile, as well as in their job descriptions. It must also be made clear that the organization does not charge students fees of any kind for utilizing their service. Please note, although third party recruiters and search agencies/firms may post employment opportunities, they may not recruit on campus. When conducting on campus interviews, only direct representatives or recruiters of an employer may interview Wellesley students.

All third-party employment agencies and search firms must:

• Provide information on the identity of the employer being represented and the nature of the relationship between the agency and the employer. The agency must permit Career Education to verify this information by contacting the company being represented. If Career Education has an existing relationship with the client, we will inform the third-party agency and decline to post the position.
• Provide position descriptions for valid openings.
• In accordance with the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), release candidate information only with the written permission of the employment candidate and only to the identified employer.
• Represent and follow all federal and state employment laws.

Alcohol Policy

Use of alcohol by candidates as part of the recruitment process, on- or off-campus, is strictly prohibited.
