Third Party Employers

The CDC adheres to the following definitions and principals as outlined by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE):

Third-party recruiters are agencies, organizations, or individuals recruiting candidates for temporary, part-time or full-time employment opportunities other than their own needs. This includes entities that refer or recruit for profit or not for profit, and it includes entities that collect student information to be disclosed to employers for purposes of recruitment and employment.

Third party recruiting organizations charge for services using the applicant’s starting salary once the applicant is placed with an employer.

Temporary agencies are employers – not third party recruiters and will be expected to comply with the professional principals set forth for employer professionals.

Third party recruiters that directly charge students for services are not following accepted professional practices and will not be permitted on-campus recruiting privileges. (NACE)

The CDC will work with third party recruiters in regards to internship opportunities only when the internship position requires the student to work directly for the third party recruiter.
