PLACEMENTS PROGRAM 2008 - Placement Process

• RECRUITERS

o Basic Principles and Policies

• Recruiters must honor all job offers made through the Career Services Office. We deem withdrawal of an offer made by a recruiter, as clearly unethical behavior.
• All correspondence relating to the students’ placements must be routed only through the Career Services Office.

o Intent to Hire

• Recruiters must fill-in and mail to the Career Services Office the “Intent to hire” form, confirming their participation in the placement program 2008.

o Corporate Presentations (PPT)

• By September 1, 2008, recruiters should conduct a PPT to enhance the company’s brand image and help students to understand what career opportunities are being offered so that students are encouraged to apply after clearly understanding the position, role and associated responsibilities.
• If necessary, PPTs can be conducted concurrently with interview sessions.
• Both campuses are fully equipped with state-of-the-art audio-visual facilities such as Video Conferencing, LCD & overhead projectors (OHP), TV/VCR, etc.
• Recruiters must contact the Career Services Office well in advance, to ensure that the PPT is scheduled by mutual convenience.

o Job postings

• By September 20, 2008, recruiters must post their jobs (vacant positions) specifying, for each job, a detailed position description and the ideal candidate profile.

o Submission of resumes

• By September 25, 2008, interested students will apply.

o Short-listing

• By September 30, 2008, recruiters must formally confirm their short-list of students whom they intend to interview, to the Career Services Office.

  • At their own office location (All expenses towards the students’ international travel and related incidentals will be chargeable to the company)
  • By Video-conferencing, and/or
  • By Telephone

o Offer making

• Recruiters must formally confirm their selections by filling-in and handing over an OFFERS CONFIRMATION form to the Career Services Office, immediately after the interviews are completed.
• A job offer is treated as VALID only if the following details are clearly spelt out in the letter of offer:
  • Job title/designation/role
  • Compensation (annual cost-to-company)
• Recruiters must mail/courier/fax their formal letters of offer to the Career Services Office within 7 days of the final interviews, but not later than November 15, 2008.

 

• STUDENTS

o Basic Principles and Policies

• Only students who have secured a CGPA of 3.0 or better are eligible for placements.
• Must honor all job offers made through SPJCM’s placement program. We deem reneging on an offer accepted by a student, as clearly unethical behavior.
• If a student does not join a company after formally accepting the recruiter’s job offer, SPJCM has the right to withdraw the Global MBA certificate awarded.
• All students eligible for placements must execute a ‘Memorandum of Understanding’ through the Career Services Office, confirming that they will:
  
  • Respect the rights and obligations of their fellow students.
  • Not misrepresent, fabricate or plagiarize any facts about his/her candidature to any recruiter.
  • Not seek, receive or obtain any unfair advantage over other students.
  • Not renege on an ‘accepted’ job offer.

o Placement Process

• Every student is primarily responsible to secure his/her own placement. By virtue of being admitted into the Global MBA program, the Career Services Office will assist eligible students by:
  
  • Training them to develop their knowledge, skills and competencies to present themselves well and face interviews successfully.
  • Identifying recruiters who are likely to consider them, based on their staffing needs (job descriptions and ideal candidate profiles) and inviting them to recruit from SPJCM.
  • Matching recruiters’ staffing needs with students’ backgrounds, to ensure appropriate skill-matches.
  • Offering appropriate students resumes to recruiters.
  • Scheduling interviews.
  • Following up with recruiters on their selections & offers.
  • Following up with students to ensure adherence with the recruiter’s deadlines for offer acceptances.
• Students
  
  • Are permitted to interview only with companies which short-list them.
  • RECEIVE and ACCEPT only ONE offer, after which they will automatically exit from the placement process.
  • Will not be permitted to attend any other interview through the Career Services Office, if they reject an offer made by a recruiter if they have initially expressed their interest in the position announced.
  • Must obtain ALL clarifications relating to the offer directly from the recruiter, before accepting an offer. The Career Services Office will try to help but the onus is clearly on the student to obtain these clarifications, well in time.
  • Must adhere to the recruiter’s deadline to accept a job offer and submit their acceptances ONLY through the Career Services Office.
  • Must complete the Capstone project and submit the dissertation to SPJCM latest by December 25, 2008. This is an academic requirement. Thus, selected students can carry out their Capstone project in the company where they have been placed and can formally join there on or after January 1, 2009.
