Marymount University\u2019s Center for Career Development follows professional standards for working with third-party recruiters as set by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE). Before posting a position with the Center for Career Development, third-party recruiters must sign an agreement stating they will comply with our third-party recruiter policies. Below is a detailed explanation of third-party recruiters provided by NACE.<\/p>\n
Third-party recruiters are agencies, organizations, or individuals recruiting candidates for temporary, part-time, or full-time employment opportunities other than for their own needs. This includes entities that refer or recruit for profit or not for profit, and it includes agencies that collect student information to be disclosed to employers for purposes of recruitment and employment;<\/p>\n
The applicant pays the third-party recruiter a flat fee for services rendered or a fee based upon the applicant\u2019s starting salary once the applicant is placed with an employer.<\/p>\n
Organizations that list positions for a number of client organizations (employers) and receive payment when a referred candidate is hired. The fee for listing a position is paid either by the firm listing the opening (fee paid) or by the candidate who is hired.<\/p>\n
Organizations that contract with clients (employers) to find and screen qualified persons to fill specific positions. The fees for this service are paid by the clients (employers).<\/p>\n
Organizations that contract with an employer to act as the employer\u2019s agent in the recruiting and employment function.<\/p>\n
For-profit or commercial organizations that collect data on job seekers and display job opportunities to which job seekers may apply. The data collected on job seekers are sent to prospective employers. Fees for using the services may exist for the employer, school, or job seeker.<\/p>\n
Temporary agencies or staffing services
\nTemporary agencies or staffing services are employers, not third-party recruiters, and will be expected to comply with the professional practice principles set forth for employment professionals. These organizations contract to provide individuals qualified to perform specific tasks or complete specific projects for a client organization. Individuals perform work at the client organization, but are employed and paid by the agency.<\/p>\n
Outsourcing contractors or leasing agencies are employers, not third-party recruiters, and will be expected to comply with the professional practice principles set forth for employment professionals. These organizations contract with client organizations to provide a specific functional area that the organization no longer desires to perform, such as accounting, technology services, human resources, cafeteria services, and so forth. Individuals hired by the outsourcing or leasing firm are paid and supervised by the firm, even though they work on the client organization\u2019s premises.<\/p>\n
In most cases temporary agencies, staffing services, outsourcing contractors, or leasing firms will be treated as employers. However, should these firms actually recruit individuals to be employees of another organization, then the third-party professional practice principles shall apply.\u201d (National Association of Colleges and Employers, June 2009, p. 6)<\/p>\n
