Recruiting Services for Employers

Position Statement about Campus Recruiting

Career Services at Virginia Tech provides opportunities for students to explore and pursue a wide variety of career options. Among the opportunities afforded students are recruitment visits and career fairs, which bring hundreds of prospective employers — including private businesses, non-profit organizations and government agencies — to campus each year.

Providing space for prospective employers on our public campus does not imply an endorsement of the missions or activities of any visiting organization. As an academic institution, we strongly encourage students to research information and options in order to make informed employment choices.

Employing organizations that recruit Virginia Tech students are expected to follow the Principles of Professional Conduct established by the National Association of Colleges and Employers.

Student conduct

Career Services expects students who are conducting a job search — whether for an internship, a cooperative education position, or a permanent position to begin at graduation — to conduct themselves in an ethical and responsible manner.

Specifically:

  • Students should attend scheduled interviews.
  • Students should not renege after accepting an employment offer.

For more information, see our information for students on these topics: Missed Interview Policy and ethical issues related to accepting a job offer.

If you believe a student has violated these expectations, please contact us.
