Organizations recruiting on-campus must have written approval by a representative from the University. Any questions or inquiries can be sent to employer.relations@unh.edu. ?
Offer Guidelines
Offers can be?an?exciting, but stressful time for students. In particular exploding offers (offers with short and restrictive deadlines) can put an enormous amount of pressure on students. “188体育app_188体育在线-平台官网 shows the best employment decisions for both students and employers are those that are made without pressure and with the greatest amount of information and transparency. Students given sufficient time to attend career fairs, participate in on-campus interviews, and/or complete the interviewing in which they are currently engaged are more likely to make good long-term employment decisions and may be less likely to renege on job acceptances.”?
We suggest?refraining?from exploding offers and exploding incentives. When a student receives an offer, it is common that the student will consult with families, career staff,?and/or mentors. Time is needed to discuss, decide and find housing and/or transportation.?Offers?time periods should be 3 weeks to allow plenty of time to decide on employment or internships.?
We strongly discourage students from reneging offers. Please report any reneges to?employer.relations@unh.edu.?
For more information about fair and equitable recruiting and extending offers, please refer to the?NACE?advisory.?
