Policies for Employers Recruiting UNG Students

We follow the Principles for Ethical Professional Practice adopted by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE). As such, organizations that are involved in on-campus recruiting are expected to abide by the NACE Professional Standards for University Relations and Recruiting.

Eligibility for Job Posting Privileges

Employers qualified for job posting privileges also may be eligible for on-campus recruitment or student engagement opportunities, which could include career fairs, information sessions, career chats, etc.

Third-Party Recruiter Eligibility Requirements
Third-party recruiters posting a job for a client must disclose the client name in the Job Description Box. All positions posted by third-party recruiters without the client name will be deleted from the system.

Third-party recruiters with exclusive contracts will disclose the client name to Career Services, who will keep the company name confidential.

Third-party recruiters may not charge fees to students or alumni candidates for the services they provide.

Third-party recruiters may not share with a third party any UNG student resumes, written materials, or student-produced media without the student's written permission.

Third-party recruiters are eligible to participate in career fairs only if they are recruiting for their own respective organization or they explicitly state the company they are representing and Career Services confirms the organization(s) will not be attending the same fair. Career Services reserves the right to deny access and participation in career fairs to any third-party employer.

Staffing/Temporary Agencies and Consulting Firm Eligibility Requirements
Staffing and temporary agencies and consulting firms who hire and provide direct payment to employees or contractors may post internships and jobs.

Staffing/temporary agencies and consulting firms may attend career fairs only if they are recruiting employees or contractors for their own organizations.

International Employer Eligibility Requirements
Employers recruiting for work outside of the United States must adhere to the equal employment opportunity (EEO) laws of the United States. The employer will advise Career Services and the students/alumni of the realities of working in that country and of differences in laws and culture.

International employers may post only paid professional jobs requiring a bachelor's degree or higher. Employers recruiting for internship opportunities may contact UNG's Center for Global Engagement to inquire about partnership.
