Placement Process at the ISB

Policies for Recruiters

The Placement process is designed to ensure that both the recruiter and the student are able to spent quality time with each other and arrive at satisfying decisions. The Career Advancement Services (CAS) office at the ISB will ensure a flawless placement process at the ISB.

To optimise the recruiting experience, CAS follows a five-step process for placements:

• Online Registration
• Pre-Placement Talks
• Job postings, Applications (Expression of Interest and Resume) and Shortlists
• Interviews
• Job Offers and Acceptances

Online Registration:
Recruiters are to register online at www.isb.edu/placement. If help is needed in registering, any member of the CAS team may be contacted. Recruiters are required to accept the terms and conditions by mailing a printed signed copy of “Terms and Conditions for campus recruitment” available on the website to the CAS office.

Companies offering Experiential Learning Projects (ELPs) and wishing to make Pre- Placement Offers (PPOs) should inform the CAS Office and PGP Projects Office before January 01, 2009. If a student receives a PPO it will be considered as One Offer of the two which s/he is eligible for, and if accepted, it will be treated as an “Accepted Offer” and the student will be out of the placement process. All other companies would follow the Placement Process as detailed below

Pre Placement Talks (PPTs):
November 10 to December 24, 2008
This is an ideal opportunity for companies to share information about their organisations with students and to make it possible for the students to explore career options.

• Time slots for PPT vary by day of the week:
  Monday to Friday - from 1930 hrs to 2200 hrs
  Weekends (Sat & Sun) – from 1100 hrs to 1730 hrs
• ISB gives equal opportunity to all recruiters. Each PPT therefore is allotted 45 minutes: 30 minutes for presentation and 15 minutes to respond to students’ queries.
• To register a date and time for PPT, please log on to our placement website www.isb.edu/placement.
• The CAS Office will arrange for facilities (audio-visual and support services) that may be needed for the presentation. Companies are requested to let CAS know about their requirements in advance.

Job Posting, Applications and Shortlist

• Job postings can be uploaded by the recruiter on the ISB placement website. Students will respond by submitting their Applications (Expression of Interest and Resume) according to the companies deadlines
• Companies are requested to forward shortlist to the CAS office at least 7 Days before the interview date. The CAS office will inform the short listed students.

Interviews:
January 17 to March 15, 2009: Interviews will be held between 0900 hrs to 1800 hrs. The schedule is as below:

Subsequently the interview process will continue till March 15, 2009.

Policy for senior students
ISB has some students with 8 or more years of work experience. These students need a separate process, as they may have to go through multiple rounds of detailed interviews, considering their seniority. The placement process for these students will start earlier.

Job Offers and Acceptance policy:

• The ISB allows a student to receive TWO offers or accept ONE offer. Thereafter, the student exits the placement process.
• To facilitate logistics for international companies / teams, who cannot come in during the regular placement schedule starting on January 17, 2009, CAS allows them to complete the process earlier. The dates could be fixed in consultation with CAS. Such firms will have to hand over sealed Final Interview Forms (FIF) & offers to CAS and these offers will be opened only at the end of the first day of Placements (January 18, 2009). This is applicable only to those international companies whose job postings are located outside India.
• Companies are requested to process the Visa requirements and other travel formalities, for the students who will have to attend an interview in any of the client’s International locations.
• The Final Interview form is a document which captures the decisions of the interview, and is signed off by the recruiter and the student. All companies are requested to hand over the filled in “FINAL INTERVIEW FORM” to CAS, on completion of the process and to send the Formal Offer Letter, once the student has indicated acceptance of the offer within seven days, to the CAS Office.
  
  • FINAL INTERVIEW FORM : To make an offer to a student, companies need to complete the Final Interview Form (FIF).
  • At the end of the final interview, if company representatives are considering making an offer to the student, they may fill in the FIF with details of offer which is then signed by the student.
  • On deciding to make an offer, the offer confirmation portion is completed, and then the Final Interview Form is handed over to the Career Advancement Services (CAS) Office.
     
• CAS will broadcast the student status on the placement website at the end of each placement day. All companies are advised to check the status of their shortlisted students on the Placement website.
• Students are required to confirm their Acceptance/ Rejection of job offers according to the company’s deadline. The earliest offer acceptance deadline that a recruiter can ask for is the end of the next placement day.
