Auburn uses Handshake to create and organize interview schedules. Handshake’s internal process requires a job description to create an interview schedule. Please post a job in Handshake, to Auburn only, so that an interview schedule can be created for candidates to select times to interview on Tuesday, February 18, or Friday, February 21. Each posted job is given a special label that connects to a Handshake link, allowing students to view your job as a part of the Career Fair events. Below are the types of interview schedules available and options for selecting student candidates.

We want to highlight a few of these College of Engineering Recruiting Guidelines and Policies specifically for Career Fair Recruitment.

Inviting Candidates to Recruitment Dinner:

When inviting student candidate(s) to dinner during recruiting visits to Auburn, please do so through an official email or through a printed invitation provided during the recruitment event. Please let the candidate(s) know the following information:

• Location and time of dinner
• Dress code for dinner
• How many candidates you are inviting
• How many team members will attend

Job Offer Guidelines:

The Office of Career Development and Corporate Relations seeks to facilitate a positive experience for employers and students regarding job offers, providing an optimal amount of time for students to consider job opportunities as well as a reasonable guideline for employers when making a job offer.   

The Office of Career Development and Corporate Relations prohibits exploding offers (defined as offers that will expire or be retracted in a short timeframe).

Please contact us if a student has made an unreasonable request regarding an offer deadline.

Based on the 2024-2025 recruitment calendar, we ask that employers adhere to the following deadlines for student decisions:

• For a fall offer, October 18 or three weeks, whichever is longer
• For a spring offer, March 14 or three weeks, whichever is longer

Title IX:

“No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.” - Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972

Auburn University is responsible for the safety of its students, even while they are participating in an off-campus Co-op or internship. If a student reports to us a negative experience with a company, we are required to report the incident to Title IX Office at Auburn University. The Title IX Office will then follow up with the student and begin the process of further investigation.

The Office of Career Development and Corporate Relations reserves the right to suspend recruitment with a company until the investigation concludes. We may ask for documentation of the process the company took with the student once the complaint was made, as well as a list of steps the company will take to ensure the future safety of its student interns and Co-ops before recruitment reinstatement is issued.

Equal Employment Opportunities

Employment professionals will maintain equal employment opportunity (EEO) compliance and follow affirmative action principles in recruiting activities in a manner that includes the following practices:

• Recruiting, interviewing, and hiring individuals without regard to race, color, national origin, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation, veteran status, or disability, and providing reasonable accommodations upon request
• Reviewing selection criteria for adverse impact based upon the student's race, color, national origin, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation, veteran status, or disability
• Avoiding questions that are considered unacceptable by EEO guidelines for fair employment practices during the recruiting process
• Developing a sensitivity to, and awareness of, cultural differences and the diversity of the workforce
• Informing campus constituencies of special activities that have been developed to achieve the employer's affirmative action goals
• Investigating complaints forwarded by the Office of Career Development and Corporate Relations regarding EEO noncompliance and seeking resolution of such complaints
