Employer Recruiting Guidelines<\/b><\/h3>\n\t\t
<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t
\n

Bates College is a member of the <\/span>National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE)<\/span><\/a> and adheres to NACE\u2019s <\/span>Principles for Ethical Professional Practice<\/span><\/a>.<\/span> Bates does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, natural or ethnic origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, marital or parental status, or age or handicap in the recruitment and admission of its students, in the administration of its educational policies and programs, or in the recruitment and employment of its faculty and staff.<\/span><\/p>\n

We expect employers and recruiters to be familiar with NACE, and we encourage <\/span>membership in NACE<\/span><\/a> should employers and recruiters find their resources valuable to working with colleges and universities.<\/span><\/p>\n

Additionally, we expect employers and recruiters to be familiar with guidelines established by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission<\/a>, and other applicable federal and state laws. Bates reserves the right to prohibit employer access to any and all recruitment activities.<\/span><\/p>\n

Campus Recruiting Offer Policy<\/b><\/p>\n

The intention of the campus recruiting offer policy at the Bates Center for Purposeful Work is to allow students ample time to carefully consider all of their options in order to make informed decisions about their employment. We educate students on evaluating and negotiating job offers and discourage them from hasty decisions that may lead to reneging, which we strongly discourage.<\/span><\/p>\n

We strongly recommend that employers review and consider the guidance set forth by <\/span>the <\/span>National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE)<\/span><\/a> on <\/span>setting reasonable deadlines for job offers<\/span><\/a>, which focuses on ensuring that students have a sufficient amount of time to consider offers of employment thoroughly and thoughtfully without undue pressure — positive by way of incentives or negative by way of offer rescission — to accept or decline.<\/span><\/p>\n

In order to better meet student and employer needs, while recognizing the variation in recruitment and hiring timelines across industries and organizations, we have the following guidelines in place:<\/span><\/p>\n
