USask Career Services reserves the right to refuse to advertise job postings that our office deems to be questionable or inappropriate.

Examples of reasons a job posting may be refused include:

• Incomplete information

  • Contact details - All contact information (e-mail addresses, phone numbers, etc.) must be accurate as Career Services may need to contact you about your posting. If we are unable to contact you, your posting may not be approved. Furthermore, any contact names provided must be real names; for example, listing “Human Resources” as your name is not acceptable.

• Misleading compensation information

  • Start-up costs - All startup costs must be identified in the job posting. Examples include (but are not limited to): clothing, equipment, purchase of company product, and licensing fees.

  • Guaranteed vs. potential salaries - Potential earnings cannot be listed in the salary/wage portion of the job posting. If the position includes a guaranteed wage and commission, you may list only the guaranteed wage and indicate that commission will be paid in addition.

  • Illegal compensation structures  - Positions with illegal or questionable compensation structures will not be posted. Examples of these structures include pyramid selling schemes and failure to meet minimum wage requirements.

• Human Rights Concerns
  USask Career Services adheres strictly to the Saskatchewan Human Rights Code, and will not post any material that is in conflict with its guidelines. However, we can post certain material if a Human Rights exemption number is provided.

• Safety Concerns
  Positions that are deemed to potentially jeopardize student/alumni safety will not be advertised. Adequate supervision and provision of appropriate safety training are essential. 

• Franchise (self-employment) Opportunities
  Job postings that are advertised through our site must be bona fide offers of employment that include a guaranteed wage or salary (with the exception of volunteer opportunities). If these qualifications cannot be met, the position will not be advertised.

• Overdue accounts
  Companies who have outstanding invoices/overdue accounts owing to Career Services will not be allowed access to any of the services offered by USask Career Services until the account has been cleared.

• Due to the congestion of the waiting area, we continue to reserve our interview waiting space for interview candidates only. This means that greeters, promotional banners and giveaways are not permitted within this space.
  
  
• As interview space is extremely limited, each booked interview room must be accompanied by a scheduled interview list of candidates.  In short, interview rooms are for interviewing only, and not to be used for greeting or other purposes.  While greeting candidates is very welcoming, it takes away space from other recruiters that need it for the purpose of interviewing.
  
  
• If you cancel rooms with less than 7 days’ notice, the cost of the unused rooms will be applied as a credit to your Career Services account, which must be used within the same fiscal year (April 30th). There is no refund of interview room fees with less than 7 days notice.
  
  
• If you are hosting information and/or briefing sessions, this may be the perfect opportunity to display your promotional materials and banners and invite your greeters. If you plan to offer giveaways, we ask that youprovide them in your pre-booked interview room, at the time of the interview. 
  
  
• Promotional posters are welcomed to be displayed within the USask Career Services office.  However, due to space restrictions, we ask that posters do not exceed 18 x 24 inches in size.  Each company is allowed a maximum of three posters.

In addition to our space constraints, these policies continue to level the playing field and allow the student to reflect solely on the interview process.
