Pitt Business Student Recruiting Policy

Pitt Business Career Development maintains the policies and best practices set forth by the National Association for Colleges and Employers (NACE) Principles for Professional Conduct for Career Services & Employment Professionals. In addition to the NACE guidelines, Pitt Business Career Development provides some additional guidelines for building and maintaining a successful recruiting relationship with the school and students.

For those organizations participating in on-campus recruiting, Career Development requests that you abide by the following job acceptance policy in order to allow students sufficient time to make informed decisions about their employment options:

• Offers from Spring 2018 on-campus recruiting: Students should be given a minimum of 10 business days, or until March 12, 2018 (whichever comes later), to accept or decline offers.
• Offers from Summer 2018 programs (internships and leadership programs): Students should be given a minimum of 10 business days, or until September 10, 2018 (whichever comes later), to accept or decline offers.
• Offers from Fall 2018 on-campus recruiting: Students should be given a minimum of 10 business days, or until November 5, 2018 (whichever comes later), to accept or decline offers.

Pitt Business Career Development will encourage students to immediately release offers they do not plan to accept. Reneging on an offer is considered a breach of our recruiting policy and such action will receive immediate attention.

Students and employers are encouraged to contact Pitt Business Career Development should a breach in the recruiting policy occur. We are committed to working on behalf of the students and the employers to ensure that all adhere to the guidelines set forth in this policy.
