Employer Policies - Recruiting

Thank you for recruiting on-campus at West Chester University and for your continued interest in recruiting WCU students. In the interest of ensuring clear communications between employers, students, and the Career Center, as well as maximizing the efficiency of the recruiting process, we ask that all employers adhere to the following guidelines:

Eligible Recruiting Organizations
Employers hiring for college-level full-time positions or internships are eligible to participate via College Central Network. Third party recruiters, Multi-level Marketers are not eligible to participate, but can advertise their listings through other options (please see complete listing of recruiting policies below ).

Selecting Students to Interview
Once the resume submission deadline for students has passed, employers are asked to review all resume submissions in College Central and make selections for on-campus interviews. Typically, these should be completed within 24-48 hours of the resume submission deadline. Please be aware of all deadlines via College Central and contact us with any questions.

Schedule Changes
For any changes to an interview schedule or date, we request that employers provide at least two days notice before the interview date. This will provide us time to make the required changes and give students enough time to re-arrange their schedules with minimal disruptions to their academics.

The Day of Your Interviews
We encourage interviewers to arrive at least 15 minutes prior to the first interview, to allow time to review the schedule for the day and check in on any final changes. We will provide interviewers with a copy of the schedule as well as the resumes of all candidates to be interviewed.

Recruiters & Greeters
Please provide our office with the names and contact information for all representatives coming to campus. This will help us provide parking passes and directions, as well as prevent potential miscommunication the day of the event. We request that employers bring no more than two greeters to accompany the interviewer(s). There might be two or three organizations recruiting on campus on a given date and we would like to accommodate all representatives comfortably and with minimal disruptions.

Job Offers
The Career Development Center requests that students be allowed sufficient time to carefully consider employment offers to make informed decisions; at minimum we request that students be given 3 weeks from the date of the offer to make a decision.

We request that employers inform us of any offers extended that must be withdrawn or significantly changed, as well as to inform us if any of our students renege on an acceptance of a job offer.

Facility Use
Interview and presentation facilities arranged by the Career Development Center are to be used solely to speak to students and alumni from West Chester University who are eligible for services from our office.

 Weather Related Delays/Closing:

  • Please call (610) 436-1000 for updated weather related information. If there is a delayed opening for the University, the Career Center will open at the time indicated in the message. 
  • Please call (610) 436-2501 and leave the Career Center a message about your preference for the day—to cancel interviews or your approximate arrival time. Due to students living on campus as well as off campus, we cannot guarantee that all students will be able to make their interview time. We will contact you as soon as we are in the office.
  • In case of a University closing, no scheduled interviews will be held for that day. The Career Center will be contacting you to with options to interview the students at a later date.
