ILIR Career Services Policies

To remain focused on the common goal of achieving the best match between individual students and employing organizations, we support the Principles for Professional Conduct as adopted by the National Association of Colleges and Employers. The full text of these principles is available at http://www.naceweb.org/principles/principl.html. The principles are designed to provide practitioners with three basic precepts for career planning, placement, and recruitment:

  • Maintain an open and free selection of employment opportunities in an atmosphere conducive to objective thought, where job candidates can choose optimum long-term uses of their talents that are consistent with personal objectives and all relevant facts;
  • Maintain a recruitment process that is fair and equitable to candidates and employing organizations;
  • Support informed and responsible decision making by candidates.

Adherence to the guidelines will support the collaborative effort of career planning, placement, and recruitment professionals while reducing the potential for abuses. The guidelines also apply to new technology or third-party recruiting relationships which may be substituted for the traditional personal interaction among career services professionals, employer professionals, and students.
