Employer Guidelines

For Job Posting on Symplicity

The following guidelines apply to all employers posting part- or full-time professional or pre-professional employment opportunities for ONU students through the University's Office of Career Services and its online recruiting Web site.

The Office of Career Services MAY allow a position to be posted if the following criteria are met:

Employers provide the following when posting opportunities:

  • Employer or organization name
  • Contact person's name and title
  • Position title
  • Job description
  • Contact information, including address, phone, fax, e-mail, Web site
  • Major(s) being recruited for the position (if applicable)

The Office of Career Services reserves the right to obtain from third-party recruiters names and locations of their represented employers.

The Office of Career Services may allow posting of full-time positions that do not require a college degree if they provide experiential opportunities that assist students in developing skills necessary for their chosen profession, are within commuting distance from Ada, or are available during seasonal breaks in the academic year.

Experiential education opportunities may be posted for any undergraduate college student. Experiential opportunities include internships, co-operative educational experience or graduate assistantships. Positions may be unpaid or compensated with a stipend or with an hourly wage.

The posting of employment vacancies may be on the online recruiting Web site for a maximum of 90 days. If no one has been hired at the end of 90 days, the Office of Career Services may allow the reposting of the position at the employer's request for an additional 90 days.

Once the employer's position is filled, the employer is requested to deactivate the vacancy immediately.

The employer is requested to provide hiring information on Ohio Northern students and recent graduates. This information will be held in a confidential manner; the pooled data will only be used to compare ONU graduates' starting offers against national averages by major and job title. Information needed includes the following:

  • Name of new hire and job title
  • Employer name and address
  • Employer contact name
  • Employment start date
  • Rate of pay

The Office of Career Services has the right to refuse to allow posting of a position if:

  • The employment opportunity involves on-campus solicitation or on-campus sales.
  • The student is required to purchase or rent any type of sales kit or presentation supplies.
  • The work assignment interferes with or negatively affects the academic progress of the student or requires or encourages a student to discontinue his or her academic program of study.

Complaints and Compliance Statement

The Office of Career Services' professional staff reserves the right to investigate complaints by students about employers or jobs accessed through the Office of Career Services. If the staff determines that a complaint is justified, the staff may choose to deny services to the employer involved. The Office of Career Services will notify the employer in writing should a situation result in this type of decision.

Ohio Northern University is a non-discriminatory organization, and employers must comply with non-discrimination practices. Positions posted with the office must comply with all federal and state affirmative-action and equal-employment regulations. Any organization that does not endorse this policy will be denied use of the Office of Career Services facilities and services.

The Office of Career Services adheres to the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) Principles and Practices of College Placement
