In order to accept a student and to receive his contact information, the employer needs to have paid registered account at Globalplacement.
  • 6.2.2 When an employer accepts a student, Globalplacement will automatically send this student an email message. This email includes the company profile, the placement description and a link to the employer profile.

Again, the employer is obliged to contact the student within 5 days after the contact information has been provided.

Article 6.4 Active search task: Globalplacement searches actively and focuses on internships/graduation assignments

The employer should also inform Globalplacement about the situation and give an explanation as quickly as possible. However, this cancellation will not result in any responsibility or liability whatsoever for Globalplacement.

Article 9. After the internship/graduation assignment

  • 9.1 When the established agreement between the employer and the student, regarding the internship/graduation assignment, ends the employer is free to make new arrangements with the student without having to use the website of Globalplacement and without having to pay Globalplacement.
  • 9.2 An exception to this rule exists when the employer places a new vacancy on the website and invites a student on the basis of his or her profile. In this case the same procedure as mentioned before will be applicable. This situation is also applicable if the employed student happens to be a former intern or employee of the company.

Article 10. Use of the data by Globalplacement
