Recruitment Policy

It is the policy of the American University in Cairo to centralize its recruitment services for companies seeking AUC students and alumni for temporary, part-time or full-time employment, or internships through the office of Career Advising & Placement Services (CAPS). To ensure a professional recruiting process, we would appreciate it if corporations would abide by the following university's recruitment policy:

• The university’s career services are directly provided to the employer (hiring organization); third-party recruiters (e.g. employment agency, search firm or contract recruiter) are not allowed to utilize the university career services or participate in any of CAPS activities.
• Resumes and any other personal identifiable information that are obtained through CAPS recruiting services/events qualify as confidential information. All job candidates whose resumes are forwarded by CAPS to prospective employers have provided their consent for this referral, or have applied in person or in response to the company’s job vacancy announcement. The employer should maintain confidentiality of the student/alumni applicants’ information. The use of this information should be limited to members of the hiring organization who are involved in the screening, interviewing, and/or hiring process, and should not be disclosed to any other party/organization.
• Employers are expected to commit to the following terms:
  • Maintain equal opportunity compliance and follow affirmative action principles throughout the recruitment process.
  • Agree to disclose the company’s name to AUC student/alumni candidates and provide them with the employer’s profile and information on career opportunities.
  • Provide the employer’s contact information to CAPS, with the understanding that CAPS will treat this information confidentially and will not communicate it to the students/alumni, unless otherwise authorized by the employer.
  • CAPS will collect the resumes of the students/alumni applicants and will forward it to the employer.
  • The university’s career services and student/alumni applicants should be timely informed of the recruitment process and of the purpose/nature of any tests/assessments that may be required as part of the process.
• Companies that fail to abide by the above terms will be prohibited from utilizing the university’s recruitment services or participating in its future recruiting events.
