Undergraduate Recruiting Policies

The Hoffman Family Undergraduate Center for Career Development (CCD) values the professional relationships developed with employer partners and commits to the facilitation of high quality engagement between employers and students. The National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) Principles of Ethical Professional Practice and Advisory Opinions guide the development and review of the undergraduate recruiting policies set forth by the Hoffman Family Undergraduate Center for Career Development (CCD). The CCD also adheres to laws, policies, and guidance provided by the U.S. Department of Labor, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and all other applicable federal and state laws.

Internship and Job Postings

The Hoffman Family Undergraduate Center for Career Development (CCD) utilizes Handshake for all internship and job postings. This platform is intended to provide undergraduate students with internship and job opportunities aligned with academic programs and appropriate for current students and recent graduates. The CCD reserves the right to decline or revoke services to prospective or current recruiting organizations for abuse of the platform, intentional posting of inaccurate or misleading information, fraudulent internship or job opportunities, or employment practices misaligned with the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) Principles of Ethical Professional Practice and Advisory Opinions or federal and state law.

Internship and Job Offers

Return Offers: All full-time offers received at the completion of a summer internship should remain open until September 30 or a minimum of 14 days, whichever is later. 

All Other Offers: All full-time and internship offers should remain open for a minimum of 14 days regardless of semester received.

Compensation

The Hoffman Family Undergraduate Center for Career Development (CCD) asks organizations to compensate competitively for students’ time and talent. Recruiting organizations should review the U.S. Department of Labor Wage and Hour Division for resources on compensation and employee rights, including Fact Sheet #71: Internship Programs Under the Fair Labor Standards Act for guidance on unpaid internships.

Third-Party Recruiters

The Hoffman Family Undergraduate Center for Career Development (CCD) advises students to review the National Association of Colleges and Employers’ (NACE) guidance for working with staffing agencies and other third party recruiters. In order to post jobs on Handshake, third-party recruiters must indicate that a posting is for an internal position. The CCD does not allow third-party recruiters to post on behalf of clients for external positions. Third-party recruiters with fees assessed to candidates are not permitted to access services provided by the CCD. The CCD reserves the right to decline or revoke services to any third-party employer at any time.

Nondiscrimination

The Hoffman Family Undergraduate Center for Career Development requires organizations to comply with the Babson College commitment to diversity and equal opportunity. Organizations must evaluate candidates without regard to race, color, national or ethnic origin, ancestry, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, age, genetics, physical or mental disability, and veteran or other protected status.

The Hoffman Family Undergraduate Center for Career Development (CCD) reserves the right to decline or revoke services to an organization at any time for noncompliance with the Babson College undergraduate recruiting policies, the NACE Principles of Ethical Professional Practice, or any federal or state law. We reserve the right to modify policies and conditions at any time.
