The Colorado State University Career Center, in accordance with the Collegiate Career Services Association of Colorado and Wyoming (CCSA) uses the National Association of Colleges and Employers' definition of third-party recruiters as, "...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."

We follow general NACE guidelines in working with third-party agencies as published in the Principles for Professional Conduct for Career Services and Employment Professionals.

• Charge no fees to the candidate.
• Reveal the identity of the employer being represented and the nature of the relationship between the agency and the employer, and permits career services to verify such information by contacting the employer directly. The Colorado State University Career Center will not attempt to solicit business away from third party recruiters by offering to deal directly with the employer.
• If requested, provide a position description for a valid opening.
• In accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, release candidate information provided by the college or university exclusively and only to the identified employer. Re-disclosure of candidate information is not permitted.
• Comply with all federal and State Equal Employment Opportunity laws (Titles VI and IX, and ADA).

Note: Member institutions of CCSA often share information with one another regarding their relationships and experiences with third party agencies and, at the discretion of individual career offices, other conditions of the agreement may apply.
