Employment Center Guidelines

Candidates and employers, by use of the Employment Center and its services, agree to read and uphold the following policies and procedures:

  1. Every job opportunity for which interviews are to be held at the Annual Meetings should be advertised in Employment Listings.
  2. All interviews at the Annual Meetings, including interviews by pre-arranged appointments, should be conducted in space arranged by the Employment Center.
  3. No interviews are to be conducted in sleeping rooms.
  4. Interviewees should be notified in a timely fashion of the location of the interviews.
  5. Interviewers should communicate in writing to interviewees that, if they request to be interviewed in a different place, it will be arranged without prejudice to their candidacies.
  6. If any candidate requests within a reasonable time that an interview be moved to a different venue, the interviewers should make a good faith effort to comply, and notification should be given to the Employment Center staff that such a change was requested and what the disposition was.
  7. Interviewees and interviewers are free to enlist the mediatorial services of the Employment Center staff in the event of differing views of what compliance with these guidelines entails.
  8. Grievances of any kind regarding interviews conducted at the Annual Meetings may be filed with the Employment Center staff and will be referred to the Employment Services Advisory Committee for consideration.
  9. Interviewers should notify interviewees that they must be Annual Meetings registrants. Interviewees are not required to register for the Employment Center.

Affirmative Action Statement

It is expected that all employers will adhere in good faith to applicable federal, state, and local regulations concerning affirmative action, equal employment opportunity, and non-discrimination. Furthermore, employers are encouraged to take affirmative action initiatives. Institutions, if any, to which these regulations do not apply, or institutions, if any, at which religion has been determined to be a bona fide occupational qualification should state this in their job announcements. In addition, job announcements should state the criteria by which candidates will be evaluated (major field, supplementary fields, degree(s), experience, publications, etc.). It is further expected that candidates will be evaluated for hiring, promotion and tenure on the basis of appropriate professional credentials, qualifications and affirmative action considerations.
