AU Co-op strives to host a recruitment process that is fair and equitable; and support informed and responsible decision making by candidates, We ask you to allow three weeks from your interview date, up to November 4, for candidates to make a final decision. This lets students receive and evaluate offers without undue pressure.

  • Please remember that you are recruiting 18-20 year old young adults who are navigating the formal interview and job offer process for the first time. They rely on you, career coaches, academic advisors, and family to help make informed decisions.
  • Additional resource regarding job offers: NACE Advisory Opinion: Setting Reasonable Deadlines for Job Offers

"Experience 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."
