The Rankings Process - January Work Term ONLY
Confidentiality of the Rankings Process
Rankings must remain confidential. To maintain the integrity of the Ranking Process it is imperative that no discussions take place with candidates regarding ranking decisions and that no offers are made directly to candidates before receiving confirmation from the Brock University Co-op Programs Office regarding the status of the rankings. Students have been informed that they must not accept offers before the rankings process is complete.
What is the Ranking Process?
- The Ranking Recruitment Process is only used for the recruitment of Brock Accounting Co-op students looking for a January work term. For all other work terms, we follow an on-going continuous placement model: Post…Interview…Hire
- By utilizing ranking input from both employers and students, the Ranking Process is designed to quickly and efficiently maximize employer / student matches.
Dates:
- POST JOBS: September 2013 (Exact Dates TBD)

FIRMS WHO DO NOT SECURE A STUDENT DURING THE
RANKINGS PROCESS MOVE FORWARD TO OUR CONTINUOUS
HIRING RECRUITMENT MODEL
Continuous Hiring - January (after rankings) / Spring / Fall
- After the Rankings process has concluded (in October), the BAcc program follows an on-going Continuous Hiring recruitment model. Firms looking to hire spring or fall students also follow the Continuous Hiring model (no rankings).
- During the Continous Hiring cycle, simply connect with the co-op office to express your interest in hiring a student. A Relationship Manager will work closely with you to help you find the student that best matches your needs.
- Once a decision to hire a student has been made, please inform the co-op office of your decision so that we can present the offer to the student. If you prefer to make an offer directly to the student, please inform us of the offer and whether the student accepts or declines.
- It is customary that 48 hours is provided for the student to make a final decision on any offer.
