La Roche University Employer Recruiting Policy
The Office of Career Development at La Roche follows the guidelines set forth by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) in Principles for Professional Conduct for Career Services & Employment Professionals. The Office of Career Development maintains the following policies:
Equal Employment Opportunities
Employers recruiting La Roche candidates are expected to maintain EEO compliance and follow affirmative action principles in recruitment activities. Employers should consider all interested students for employment opportunities without regard to race, color, national origin, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation, or disability, and provide reasonable accommodations upon request.
The Office of Career Development will:
- Notify employing organizations of any selection procedures that appear to have an adverse impact based upon the student’s race, color, national origin, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation or disability;
- Assist recruiters in accessing certain groups on campus to provide a more inclusive applicant pool;
- Respond to complaints of EEO noncompliance, working to resolve such complaints with the recruiter or employing organization, and if necessary, refer such complaints to the appropriate resource department or agency.
Testing
Career Development facilities are to be used by employers primarily for the purpose of interviewing students or alumni from La Roche. We can schedule rooms on campus for pre-employment testing. If other facilities (i.e. rooms at an off-campus facility) are necessary, employers must make their own arrangements.
The La Roche Office of Career Development name must not be used as a sponsor of the recruiting event unless given prior consent. All employers administering pre-employment tests during a recruiting visit must specify the test(s) to be administered and release to the La Roche Office of Career Development any and all liability associated with pre-employment testing.
Third-Party Recruiters
Organizations providing recruiting services for a fee will be required to inform the Office of Career Development of the specific employer they represent and the specific jobs for which they are recruiting, and will permit verification of that information.
Any disclosure of student information outside of the third-party recruiting organization and the company they represent will be with prior consent of the student. Third-party recruiters will disclose to students the name(s) of the client(s) to whom the students’ credentials will be disclosed. Third-party recruiters that charge fees to students will not be permitted access to Career Development resources.
Harassment
A prospective or current employee or intern with an employing organization is entitled to an environment free of harassment. All claims of harassment or inappropriate questions/behavior will be investigated.
We reserve the right to restrict access to facilities and recruitment privileges if a representative is in violation of these standards.
Harassment has been defined by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission as unwelcome sexual advances, requests for favors, and other verbal or physical conduct when:
- submission to such conduct is a condition for employment, promotion, grades or academic status;
- submission to or rejection of such conduct is used as the basis for employment or academic decisions affecting an individual;
- such conduct has the purpose or effect of interfering unreasonably with the individual’s work or academic performance or creates an offensive, hostile, or intimidating working or learning environment.
The Office of Career Development may restrict access of recruiting activities if any of the following appropriate recruiting activities are violated:- Recruiting, interviewing, and hiring individuals without regard to race, color, national origin, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation, or disability, and providing reasonable accommodations upon request;
- Reviewing selection criteria for adverse impact based upon the student’s race, color, national origin, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation or disability;
- Avoiding use of inquiries that are considered unacceptable by EEO standards during the recruiting process;
- Investigating complaints forwarded by the Office of Career Development regarding EEO noncompliance and seeking resolution of such complaints.
- Employing organizations that do not maintain the confidentiality of student information, regardless of the source, including personal knowledge, written records/reports, and computer databases. There will be no disclosure of student information to another organization without the prior written consent of the student, unless necessitated by health and/or safety considerations.
- Employing organizations engaged in administering, evaluating, and interpreting assessment tools, tests, and technology without informing the Office of Career Development of these tests.
- Employing organizations that do not cooperate with the policies and procedures of the Office of Career Development or honor scheduling arrangements and recruitment commitments.
