All employers must be deemed legitimate organizations with verifiable: business name, physical address, email address, phone number, website (if applicable), and the name of a contact that can be reached at the address listed, telephone and email.
We will refuse service to employers due to any of the following: dishonesty; breach of confidentiality; fraud; misrepresentation; abuse or other harassment of Oregon State University students, alumni and staff, as well as violation of local, state or federal laws.
Employers not eligible to use The Career Development Center and Handshake also include:
Non-Discrimination Policy
Employers are expected to engage in non- discrimination practices in their recruitment activities, and to follow equal employment opportunity and affirmative action principles as set forth by the Oregon State University and the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE). Employers are expected to provide reasonable accommodations upon request.
Commission
Employers using the Center’s services will offer regular/base salaries for all positions. A draw against future earnings does not constitute a salary. Employers offering commission-based positions may post job listings provided they are full-time career opportunities. No commission-based part-time or internship positions will be posted, unless approved the Career Development Center on a case-by-case basis.
Fees Charged to Candidates
Employers that require students or alumni to purchase a franchise, purchase supplies, pay for training or orientation, invest or pay a ‘start-up’ or application/access fee as a condition of employment, will not be allowed access to The Career Development Center or Handshake. Because it is ultimately a student’s decision to participate, organizations are free to recruit Oregon State students through means outside of The Career Development Center at OSU.
Employment agencies, temporary agencies and search firms are eligible to utilize a limited selection of our services but MUST abide by the guidelines outlined in our Third Party Employer User Policy. Of particular importance is the fact that Third Party agencies that require applicants to pay a fee for services are not eligible to use the Center’s services.
Adult entertainment
Employers may not post any positions related to the adult entertainment industry or with any sexual references/involvement.
Drug Related Positions
Employers may not post any positions related to any illegal drugs within Oregon.
Disclaimer
All hiring and compensation for work performed by student employees is handled directly between the student and the employer. The Career Development Center does not screen students or perform background checks on those applying for jobs, nor on employers posting job opportunities. Employers and students are encouraged to request reference information from each other as needed to establish qualifications, credentials and overall fit between the employer and the student applicant.
The Career Development Center reserves the right to use discretionary judgment based on an organization’s circumstances when determining whether to further grant or limit access beyond this policy.
Third Party or Temporary Employment Agencies (TPES) or Search Firms are organizations or individuals that recruit candidates for temporary, part time, or full time employment opportunities for other organizations. They also recruit for their own organization’s internal hiring needs.
