Third Party Recruiting & User Policy                                                                                      

Third party employment services are services provided by recruiters who recruit candidates for employment in positions with organizations other than their own.


Third party employment services are offered by:

Employment Agencies -
Organizations which list positions for client organizations and refer candidates to client organizations. These agencies receive payment either from the employing organization (in which case positions are referred to as "fee paid") or from the candidate who is hired.

Temporary Agencies -
Organizations which provide temporary or seasonal staffing for client organizations. Individuals work for client organizations but are paid by the agency. Some agencies offer "temp-to-hire" services in which case candidates initially hired on a temporary basis may be considered for subsequent full time, permanent employment with the client organization.

Search Firms -
Organizations which contract with clients to find and screen qualified candidates for specific positions. The fees for this service are paid by the candidate.



Third party agencies using the BSU Career Development Center must follow the following guidelines:


Third party recruiters that charge fees to students will not be permitted to recruit on campus or post jobs to the Bulldogs4Hire system. No students or alum will, at any time, be charged for the recruiting efforts or activities of third party recruiters.

•Job listings posted with the Career Development Center must clearly indicate that candidates will be working through a third party agency.

•Position announcements submitted to Bulldogs4Hire must identify the client employer or at a minimum the employer's type of business, location and the position open, including the duration of employment (i.e. permanent, temporary, full-time, part-time).

•Third party agencies may recruit only for client organizations. Candidates' names/addresses may not be used for solicitation of employer clients except where specific arrangements have been made and agreed to by candidates in advance.

•All vacancies listed with Bulldogs4Hire must be filled according to AA/EOC guidelines.

•Employers recruiting for work outside of the U.S. are expected to respect EEO policy. Additionally, they will advise the Career Development Center and students of the realities of working in that country and of any cultural and foreign law differences.

•The Career Development Center reserves the right to verify with organizations that they have hired a third party entity to fill positions within their organization.

•The Career Development Center reserves the right to discontinue services to students, alumni, and recruiters who violate EEO, FERPA, NACE, and/or Career Development Center guidelines.

•Third party agencies will only have access to posting positions and requesting on-campus recruitment options in the Bulldogs4Hire database.

•Third party recruiters attending Career Fairs will represent employers who have authorized them and will disclose to BSU students and the CDC, the names of the represented employers.

•Student or alumni informatyion will not be disclosed to any employer, including the client-employer, without prior written consent from the student or alum. Under NO circumstances can student or alumni information be disclosed for reasons other than recruiting purposes NOR can it be sold or provided to other entities.
