Policies and Procedures for Employers

The Augusta State University Career Center welcomes the opportunity to develop relationships with employers to assist in meeting the employment needs of ASU students and graduates.  We want to build a strong relationship in order to understand how we can best meet the hiring needs of employers.

No solicitation of goods or services is allowed in conjunction with the use of the Augusta State University Career Center in recruiting personnel. Recruiting practices must follow affirmative action/equal opportunity guidelines. The Career Center supports and endorses the NACE Guide to Principles for Professional Conduct as outlined at www.naceweb.org/principles/principl.html

The Career Center reserves the right to ban any employer from campus visits, job postings and sponsorship, should legal and ethical situations arise in their partnership with the ASU Career Center . The ASU Career Center also reserves the right to ban employers from services if they use multi-level marketing plans as a means of developing business (Commission only programs with a “fee” to students to purchase a product and then sell the product and recruit others to do the same).

Employer Nondiscrimination Policy Statement

The [name of employer] is committed to providing equal employment opportunity for all persons regardless of race, color, religion, sex, age, national origin, citizenship status (as defined under the Immigration Reform and Control Act), disability, or veterans status. [Note: Could also include protected categories that are found in state laws, such as marital status or sexual orientation.]

Equal employment opportunity extends to all aspects of the employment relationship including recruiting, interviewing, selection, hiring, transfers, promotions, training, terminations, working conditions, compensation, benefits, and other terms and conditions of employment.

The [name of employer] complies with federal and state equal employment opportunity laws and strives to keep the workplace free from all forms of harassment, including sexual harassment. The commitment to a harassment free environment extends to the hiring process. The [name of employer] considers harassment of all forms to be a serious offense.

Employees or applicants who have been subjected to prohibited discrimination or harassment should immediately report the incident to their supervisors, or a human resources department representative. Complaints are investigated immediately and will be handled as confidentially as possible. The [name of employer] ensures that employees following this complaint procedure are protected against illegal retaliation.

Any reported violations of equal employment opportunity laws or this policy are investigated. Supervisors or employees found to have engaged in discriminatory conduct or harassment are subject to immediate disciplinary action, including possible termination of employment.

Policies & Procedures for Employer Recruiting when reserving a table in a student traffic area to promote job opportunities

Reserving a table through the ASU Career Center to staff a booth in a student traffic area on campus is one of many ways to promote hiring opportunities with your organization to ASU students. There are certain procedures in place to protect the students on campus and their safety while pursuing their educational endeavors. Please refer to the policies below for how to make the most of your event within the guidelines of Augusta State University when visiting here. Any infringement on these policies can result in restrictions on recruiting via the Career Center , as well as removal of your organization via Public Safety and possible future ban from the campus.

1. A 6 foot table with two chairs can be reserved for the purpose of recruiting for specific job openings with your organization and is to be coordinated with the ASU Career Center as your sponsor. Please provide at least 1-2 weeks notice of your requests to come on site to allow the office ample time to secure space and promote your needs. The earlier, the better! You can obtain a parking pass in our office the day of your event.

2. In fairness to all employers using our services and campus organizations also requesting booth space, employers cannot recruit on campus via a booth more than two times in one semester. Booths cannot be reserved for the first two weeks of class, due to high activity of on-campus programs and services. Booths are also not available in spring semester prior to the February campus job fair. This is for the sole purpose of focusing the students and our campus marketing for employer connections solely to this annual event.

3. The office will promote the booth location and time on their job postings website and distribute announcements to the campus. When your visit is sponsored by the Career Center , you can only use your table for the recruiting of specific hiring needs . No solicitation for goods or services will be allowed. Those infringing on this campus policy will be removed from the campus and any future recruiting conducted by your organization on this campus is at the discretion of the Career Center and the University.

4. Please do not “market” your opportunities outside of the confines of your table/recruiting area. Give-aways and displays to make your area attractive to students are always welcome. Students are encouraged to report anyone that approaches them outside of the booth area on campus to be removed by Public Safety. This includes wandering into other parts of the campus or the building you are in and addressing students without them seeking your table for information.

5. Any company recruiting on campus that has a start-up cost, commission only or base+ commission component(s) as part of the job they are targeting ASU students for is required to post a sign at their campus booth clearly detailing these facts. Your sign must be approved by the ASU Career Center and posted at your table at all times. Failure to adhere to these principles jeopardizes your organization's ability to recruit here.

6. Outside organizations are not allowed to post flyers around campus for recruitment or direct sale purposes. This is monitored closely and unauthorized flyers are removed. For information on the campus posting policy, refer to the Student Activities office (706-737-1609) or their webpage http://www.aug.edu/student_activities/
