Recruiting Guidelines

The goal of the Career Management Center is to provide outstanding service to our students and our recruiting partners. We make every effort to accommodate employers’ requests for services and recruiting arrangements within Goizueta Business School resources while respecting students’ academic commitments. To help ensure that the recruiting process results in optimal outcomes for all concerned, the Goizueta Business School has adopted the following policies:

Resume Drops

We ask that you inform students of their status within two weeks of receiving the application bundle. Please communicate the status of each applicant and next steps to the appropriate member of the Employer Relations Team.

Interview Follow-up

We ask that you inform students of their status within two weeks of their interview. Please allow reasonable time to schedule follow-up interviews. Ongoing follow-up with the students is strongly encouraged.

Employment Offer and Timelines

We strongly discourage you from the practice of "exploding" offers. Our experience suggests that students favorably regard those companies that demonstrate flexibility and a willingness to allow students adequate time to make a sound and informed decision. A company’s image can be damaged when students are pressured to respond hastily to employment offers.

Full-Time Offers

Any offers made to second-year students prior to December 8 should remain open until December 31. After December 8, offers made to second-year students should remain open for a minimum of four weeks from the date of offer.

Internship Offers

Any offers made to first-year students prior to January 30 should remain open until February 20. After January 30, offers made to first-year students should remain open for a minimum of three weeks from the date of the offer.

Rescinded Offers

If a hiring company is unable to honor an accepted offer of employment, the Goizueta Business School would expect financial compensation to the student consistent with the firm’s severance practices for similar positions, covering such items as lost wages, health insurance, signing bonus and moving expenses.

Reneged Offers

Students are urged to immediately release offers they do not plan to accept. Reneging on offers is considered a serious breach of both our recruiting policies and the Goizueta Business School Honor Code.

Communication

Keep everyone informed—both the CMC and the students—as you move through the hiring process. We can best serve you and students when we are all kept up-to-date concerning interviews, offers, and acceptances.
