Recruiting Policies and Guidelines

IN ITS HIRING AND EMPLOYMENT PRACTICES, Williams College does not discriminate on the basis of gender, race, color, religion, disability, age, sexual orientation, national or ethnic origin, status as a disabled or Vietnam era veteran. If your policies in hiring and employment differ from those of Williams College on any point, please provide the Office of Career Counseling with a copy of your policy. Your statement on this matter will be publicly available to members of the Williams Community.

The Office of Career Counseling at Williams also adheres to the principles of professional conduct set forth by the National Association of Colleges and Employers and reserves the right to deny service to any organization that fails to meet these standards. You may review these guidelines online at www.naceweb.org/ principles.

In accordance with the NACE principles, we ask that you observe the following when recruiting at Williams:

  • Please provide students with a reasonable amount of time in which to make a thoughtful decision regarding job and internship offers.
  • Job offers should remain on the table in their entirety during this period.
  • In order to avoid any misunderstandings, we suggest that you provide students with written confirmation of job offers and details.

On our end, we make certain that students are aware of on-campus interviewing policies and the consequences of failing to appear for an interview or backing out of an offer. Please let us know if you experience any concerns about a candidate from Williams.
