Pitt Business Student Recruiting Policy

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 2021 / summer 2021 recruitment for summer 2021 internships or full-time: We recommend students should be given a minimum of 10 business days, or until March 5th, whichever comes first
  • Offers from spring 2021 / summer 2021 recruitment for summer 2022 internships: If employers are recruiting +12 months in advance of filling an opportunity for internships, employers must give a reasonable decision-making time frame. We are suggesting an offer deadline of July 2nd, 2021.
  • Offers from summer 2021 (internships and leadership programs): Students should be given a minimum of 10 business days, or until August 13th, 2021.

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.
