The UW Career Center makes facilities and services available to all legitimate employers who wish to engage in recruiting activities to attract our top-notched students and alumni for full-time, part-time, internships or summer jobs. Recruiting activities include campus interviews, posting a job listing, career fairs, information group meetings, and other employer events hosted by our office. To access candidates through the UW Career Center, all employers must affirm that they are an equal opportunity employer and abide by the University of Washington Non-Discrimination Policy as well as subscribe to the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) Principles for Professional Conduct for Career Services and Employment Professionals.

It is expected that employers using campus facilities and career services under this policy will interact with students, alumni and Center staff in a professional and ethical manner. Employers are expected to provide accurate and complete information concerning conditions of employment within their organizations. In addition, employers must disclose to the UW Career Center the name of its organization, physical address, email address, phone number, website and name of a contact. Any reported breach of this policy will result in termination of all future opportunities to recruit UW students and alumni through the UW Career Center.

The UW Career Center seeks to maintain a positive relationship with employing organizations, however; we reserve the right to refuse service to any employer or agent/representative of an employer.

University of Washington Non-Discrimination Policy

The University of Washington, as an institution established and maintained by the people of the State, is committed as a matter of principle to providing equality of opportunity to all members of the University community. In conformance, with Federal and state law, the University shall not discriminate against any person because of race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex, age, marital status, disability or status as a disabled or Vietnam era veteran. Discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is also a violation of this policy.

The UW Career Center expects all employers and their representative that use our services or university facilities to abide by federal and state employment laws and to honor the University of Washington's commitment to equal opportunity, affirmative action and nondiscrimination in their recruiting and hiring practices. For participation in the campus recruitment program, accessing resume books, attending career fairs or posting employment listings, employers must affirm compliance with this policy by completing and signing specific participant forms, when requested.

Third Party Agencies

Employers must recruit for positions within their own or legally affiliated organization. However, if a "Third Party Employment Agency" is being used or if the employer is serving in the capacity of a Third Party Employment Agency then the Center's Third Party Employment Services User Policy must be followed. Third Party Agencies that require a fee for services are not eligible to post jobs with the UW Career Center.

Commission Sales Organization Policy

It is expected that employers using the Center's services will offer regular salaries for positions. However, employers offering commission-based positions may post job listings at the Center provide they abide by the following policy:

1. Recruit for positions which are full-time career jobs,
2. Inform the Center and interviewees of the specific manner in which remuneration is to be determined

Employers with Entrepreneurial Opportunities

Employers offering entrepreneurial opportunities that require candidates to invest or purchase supplies as a condition of employment, must clearly state the cost and provide a written explanation of the cost on all materials describing the company's employment opportunities and/or job descriptions that are posted at the UW Career Center or on campus.

Job Offer Policy

Employment professionals participating in the UW Career Center Campus Interview Program or posting in HuskyJobs are required to work within a framework of professionally accepted recruiting, interviewing and selection techniques as stipulated in the NACE Principles for Professional Conduct. Considering that most UW candidates are seeking their first professional internship or post-college career position, it is imperative for the candidate to have a substantial response time to make an informed decision once an offer has been extended.

We recommend that students should be given a minimum of 2 weeks to decide whether to accept a position offer. Exploding offers and special incentives such as diminishing bonuses or location preferences should not be used to encourage early acceptance of an offer. Signing bonuses should be honored whenever a student accepts an offer
