Ozarks Tech Career Services is committed to creating a fair and safe recruiting environment for both employers and students.

Following these standards helps protect students, ensures equal opportunity, and maintains the integrity of our hiring partnerships.

Disclaimer

Career Services at Ozarks Tech lists employment openings from employers as received, unless there is sufficient reason to question their legitimacy or legality.  Neither Career Services nor the school assures that anyone will fill your position, send his/her résumé to you or contact you in any manner. Responses to any posting should not be deemed as a warranty by Career Services or the school of an applicant’s fitness or credentials for employment.  Accordingly, Career Services and the school expressly disclaim any liability in connection with any potential or actual employment which results from any applicant’s response to any job posted on this site.

Employer Guidelines

In order to provide fair and equitable services to our students, alumni, employers and other users of our services, Career Services will adhere to the following guidelines for all recruiting activities sponsored by our office.  Employer representatives are expected to comply with all federal and state Equal Employment Opportunity regulations in their recruitment and hiring practices. Consideration should be afforded to all candidates without regard to race, color, national origin, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation, or disability. 

The guidelines below apply to all employers posting employment opportunities for Ozarks Tech students/alumni through the institution’s office of Career Services, its online recruiting website, and all recruiting activities.  Career Services offers assistance to employers in adherence to the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) ethical standards as outlined in Principles for Professional Conduct for Career Services & Employment Professionals.

Services for Employers

Large and small businesses, government and non-profit organizations that are offering co-op/internships, full-time, part-time, and seasonal jobs may register and list employment opportunities (at no cost) with our online job board located at joinhandshake.com/employers/. Only employers approved to do so will be able to post jobs online and contact students/alumni directly. 

• All job postings must guarantee a minimum wage that is equal to or greater than the federal minimum wage.  Jobs and/or interviews located at an individual’s place of residence will not be posted. 
• Employment opportunities in which the student is not paid for their work or training, or compensation is in the form of straight commission only, will not be posted. 

Campus Recruitment

Employers are encouraged and invited to contact Career Services staff to inquire about recruitment opportunities. 

Career Fairs

Employers participating in our career fairs will mirror the educational programs that Ozarks Tech offers, as well as reflect the employment needs of our students and alumni.  Companies that are offering bona fide (wages/salaries, not 100% commission) co-op/internships, full-time, part-time, and seasonal jobs may register for career fair participation.  Event participation includes table/chairs, access to electrical outlets and Internet connection. 

General Guidelines

Career Services staff reserves the right to investigate complaints by students about employers or jobs posted through Career Services in conjunction with Handshake.  If the office determines that a complaint is justified, the office may choose to deny employer services to the employer involved.  Career Services will notify the employer in writing or by e-mail should a situation result in this type of a decision. 

Network Marketing, Multi-level Marketing and Third Party Staffing Firms/Employment Agencies and employers and individuals not endorsed by Career Services may make their own arrangements to advertise employment/entrepreneurial opportunities. 

Career Services reserves the right to refuse services to employers due to any of the following: dishonesty; breach of confidentiality; fraud; misrepresentation; harassment of Ozarks Tech students, alumni or staff; failure to adhere to these Career Services policies and/or any other violation of Ozarks Tech rules and regulations.
