Employer Policies and Guidelines

NIU Career Services is dedicated to fostering a fair, inclusive and professional recruiting environment for all students and employer partners. To support this commitment, we ask all employers to follow ethical recruiting practices and comply with university policies, equal opportunity employment laws and NACE Principles for Ethical Professional Practice.

I appreciate NIU's commitment to innovation. Recently, they introduced Quinncia, a platform that creates additional branding opportunities for employers while giving students hands-on experience with AI through resume reviews and mock interviews. This forward-thinking approach helps prepare students for an evolving job market and makes partnership even more impactful.
