Third-Party Recruiters

​The BIPOC Atlantic Job Fair’s policy on Third-Party Recruiters is in accordance with the accepted practices of the Employers (CACEE) Ethical Recruitment Guidelines.

Third-party recruiters are defined as agencies, organizations or individuals recruiting candidates for temporary, part-time, or full-time employment on behalf of others and not for their own needs.  The following guidelines for third-party recruiters have been established to best meet the needs of students, employers and the Diversity Employment Network: 

No direct referrals will be made to vacancies listed by third-party recruiters without posting and/or contacting candidates with the information relating to the position. 

Candidates’ resumes must not be held in the files of the third-party recruiter for later referral to other positions unless authorized by the candidate.
