Our goal is to help you maximize your recruiting results while helping students make informed career and employment decisions. To accomplish this, we must maintain a "level" playing field, where employers and students alike have equal access. We also recognize that students' academics must take first priority.
If you plan to visit campus for an Information Session or On-Campus Interviews, please sign and return your completed Policy Forms (183K PDF File) to Career Services. (see forms for fax and email address).
We have established the policies listed below.
PROGRAMS/OUTREACH/GIVEAWAYS: In order to help you optimize timing and strategy, get the most from your marketing efforts, and avoid scheduling overlaps/policy issues, please coordinate all marketing and outreach activity through the Associate Director - Employer Relations, (603) 646-2665. This includes any form of communication to student organizations or faculty/administrators, including receptions, workshops, information sessions, panel discussions, social hours, interviewing, or post-event social activities. Alcohol should not be included in any Hanover area events. Employers may be asked to remove giveaways if Career Services deems them inappropriate (e.g. bottle openers, candles). We will gladly review giveaway ideas for target audience reaction and potential adverse impact.
MAILINGS: While mass mailings or mass e-mails to students are not permitted by our institution, Career Services offers a targeted mailing label service, so you can reach the graduating students whose career interests best match your needs. Contact us, (603) 646-2665, for more information!
EMPLOYER REPRESENTATIVES: Alumni/ae and other individuals representing an employer are in an "official capacity" when recruiting at Dartmouth. Whether here for an employer fair, information session, pre-interview meeting, or other event, representatives need to be professional at all times and refrain from what might be interpreted as exclusive or inappropriate behavior. Recruiters should be trained in professional interviewing standards and protocols. Alumni/ae interviewers must have graduated from Dartmouth College June 2007 or earlier in order to avoid the perception of bias. Alumni/ae interviewers will be excused from interviews if they have graduated after June 2007.
TESTING: All Hanover-based testing practices should be reviewed with Career Services well in advance, to ensure ADA compliance and validity of the test's measure of employability. Students must be notified of testing at least two full days in advance in order for 'accommodations' to be made.
INTERVIEW NOTIFICATION: Employers are asked to go into our DartBoard system to enter interview decisions (i.e. preselects and alternates). Students then go online to check on their interview status, view signup deadlines, and to schedule or cancel interviews.
INTERVIEW SCHEDULING: All first-round interviews take place in Career Services and are scheduled via DartBoard. Employers needing schedule changes must contact Career Services to make those changes. Please do not contact students directly to change 1st round interviews. Subsequent interviews are scheduled directly by employers.
Our compacted quarter term academic calendar impacts students' ability to schedule outside activity. Employers must offer flexibility in scheduling 2nd-round interviews, in consideration of students' academic schedules (minimum 2 dates). A minimum of 3 business days lead time is required between notification and actual out-of-town interviews at employer's site. Interviews should not be scheduled during reading or exam periods. See Dartmouth Recruiting Calendar.
OFFERS: Employers should provide students with sufficient time to complete their employment searches and make informed decisions. No exploding bonuses should be offered for early acceptances. The following deadlines are required:
Our billing structure supports our operating budget. Our hope is that this structure also helps employers in forecasting and budgeting for recruiting expenses. Invoices for recruiting activity will be issued within 30 days of your event. On-Campus Interview Program registration and meeting fees are fully refundable if your cancellation is made 60 days prior to your interview date. Employer Connections Fair registrations are non-refundable.
