CareerWeb: Guidelines for adverts

Received a lot of applications? And too few applicants matched your needs? There weren't enough applications? Or did we reject your advert? Follow these guidelines and you'll get just the right amount of applications from just the right students.

General Guidelines for employers

• Career Services at Aalto handles and publishes adverts within two working days.
• Adverts' maximum period of validity is four months.
• Students do not have access to the adverts after the last day of applications stated in the ad.
• Only Aalto University students have access to Aalto CareerWeb.

• Copying straight from PDF or other document (MS Word etc.) might cause disappearance of information and the system does not fix e.g. hyphenation, links or false wrapping.
• You may target your advert to one or more Aalto University study fields. If Career Services notices that the advert is not suitable for the study field or suits study fields other than those you have chosen, we reserve the right to alter your choices.
• If you discover technical problems, please contact careerweb [at] aalto [dot] fi

Answers to some frequently asked questions (FAQ)

How long should the application period be?

An application period of a few days might be enough in some cases, but not usually. Anything from two weeks to a month is common. Our system sets the limit to four months.

I don't really know all the different schools at Aalto University or the fields of study, so how do I target my advert in a correct way?

The schools and departments are listed above. You'll find more useful information about Aalto University, its six schools, and much more at http://studies.aalto.fi/en. In case the selected target group does not match the content your advert, we will change it to a more suitable one.

Why don't you publish anonymous adverts?

We want to ensure that our students get a sufficient amount of information when applying for a job. We also want to prevent fake adverts / employers from using our system.

Do you accept temp and recruiting agencies' adverts?

Yes, we do. Please state very clearly that the job is staff renting and remember to include the client company's name.

We use the Aarresaari.net service, should we use Aalto CareerWeb too?

If you wish to target your advert only to Aalto students, you may do it in both systems – there is no difference. We publish both the Aarresaari adverts and adverts in our own system. Please only send your advert using either the Aarresaari.net service or Aalto CareerWeb, not both of them.
