Excluded practices

Career and Professional Development Services will not permit employer recruiting activities if:

• The full-time job or internship is not career or degree related. Part-time non-degree positions must provide transferrable skills to a related career field
  
  
• The job or internship involves in-home healthcare or child-care, in-home services, door-to-door sales, or marketing goods and services directly to university students
  
  
• Housing is the sole form of compensation offered in exchange for work
  
  
• The organization requires an initial payment or investment, or account balance or similar fiscal requirements with the organization itself serving as an umbrella or parent corporation. Investments may include, but are not limited to: requirement to attend unpaid orientation or training sessions; direct payment of a fixed fee; payment to attend orientation or training sessions; and/or purchase, rent, or place deposit on a starter kit, sales kit, samples, or presentation supplies
  
  
• The organization fails, for any reason, to provide necessary information needed to post a job opening
  
  
• The organization refuses or fails to provide (upon request) documentation to substantiate any claimed memberships or affiliations with professional organizations, e.g. registration with the Better Business Bureau
  
  
• The job or internship involves the sale or distribution of medical marijuana. The possession or use of marijuana on ASU’s campus is illegal under state law, the use of marijuana is illegal under federal law, and ASU complies with the Drug-Free Schools and Campuses Act. Medical research projects involving marijuana must comply with A.R.S. § 15-108(A)

Additional practices that may lead to exclusion from employer recruitment activities at Arizona State University include, but not limited to: fraud, misrepresentation, bait and switch tactics, breach of confidentiality, substantiated complaints by or harassment of Arizona State University students, alumni or staff, and requiring personal information (e.g. bank and/or social security numbers) when not part of the hiring process.

Participation in career events

Career and Professional Development Services reserves the right to deny registration for a career fair or request to host an on-campus activity by an employer. If it is determined that the event or location is not aligned with the employer’s recruiting interests and/or the academic demographics of the students at that location; alternative options will be recommended.

Alcohol policy

Career and Professional Development Services adheres to the Arizona State University policy on Alcoholic Beverages. We also adhere to the guidelines set forth by National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE), that serving alcohol should not be part of the recruitment process. This includes but is not limited to on-campus events, receptions, dinners, company tours, etc.

Grievances

Career and Professional Development Services (CPDS) staff will investigate complaints by users of our services that may involve employers, job postings or work assignments. If the complaint is substantiated, CPDS reserves the right to reject that employer’s future recruiting requests.

CPDS adheres to the aforementioned policies and guidelines to ensure the quality of our services and reserves the right to modify these terms and conditions at any time. All decisions regarding employer recruiting activities are made at the sole discretion of CPDS and Arizona State University.

Ethical practices

The success of the recruiting process is based on adherence to ethical practices as established by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) in their Principles for Professional Practice, which also includes principles for third-party recruiters.

Offer and withdrawal guidelines

Employers should allow students enough time to make a thoughtful decision. ASU Career and Professional Development Services expects employers to follow principles set forth by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE), which include refraining from practices that improperly influence job acceptances, including undue time pressure for acceptance of offers and encouraging revocation of other employment offers. In the event that an employer must withdraw an offer, the employer will be expected to provide the student with compensation commensurate with the loss of opportunity to secure another offer.

Reneging guidelines

It is unethical for students to continue to seek or consider other employment opportunities once an offer has been accepted. ASU Career and Professional Development Services expects students to honor an acceptance and withdraw from all employment seeking activities. Students who accept an offer from an organization and later renege/decline the offer will be prohibited from further utilizing CPDS pending a meeting with a professional staff member.
