    • Registering and posting job openings and company profiles

      Registration

      1. Select one of our offers (please note our General Terms of Use for the cost-based offers)
      2. Click on the link to the career portal within the display for that offer.
        You will then be forwarded to the external website of the provider JobTeaser (please note the corresponding privacy policy and terms of use).
      3. Register here using your email address, then select a password and enter the additional requested information (contact data and details about the company).

      Post a Job Opening

      • As soon as you have completed the registration and clicked on “continue”, you will be directed to the input mask where you can post a job opening.
      • Here you can enter all information relevant to the position. There are a number of dropdown menus available for entering the details (contract type and duration, industry, location etc.)
      • IMPORTANT: Obligatory selection of tags – department(s)
        • Please select one or more HTWG departments for which your job opening would be relevant. You do in the “tags” section. This helps us better place job ads, simplifies the working process and, most importantly, makes student searches easier.
        • If your business is a public institution, please also select this as a key word.
        • Additional tags can also be used (e.g., international) depending on the nature of the position. This also makes it easier for students to use the search function.
        • The tags do NOT limit the visibility of the job opening. Your job opening will be visible to students from all degree programs regardless of the departments or degree programs you select.
      • However, you can decide to limit which students and degree programs can see the post. Under the field “visibility”, select “limit visibility to certain degree programs”. This is independent from the key word entry for department(s) which was selected above.
      • The next step is to enter a strong and informative text in the field “description”. Here you also have the option of uploading documents or pictures as well as placing links to external websites.
      • You can set it up that students apply for the open positions directly in the portal or use a link to apply via your company’s recruiting page. This is done by using the input mask.
      • Then click on “send job opening”.
      • Please note: The job opening is only posted after it has been authorized by our staff. We make our best effort to do this in a timely manner – at least once a day. We normally check the list of new job opening post in the morning.

      Setting Up a Company Profile

      • As soon as you have completed the registration process and clicked on “continue”, you will be directed to the input mask where you can set up a company profile.
      • Here you can enter all information relevant to your company.
      • Select “HTWG Konstanz exclusive” under the heading “partnership level”.
      • IMPORTANT: If you are registering a public institution and would like to take advantage of the 50% discount, please send us a separate Email with a verification of your organization’s non-profit status to careerservice@htwg-konstanz.de.
      • In addition to describing your company in detail, you also have the option of posting candidate profiles, information about the application process, putting links to your application page or the company’s social media pages, as well as uploading recruiting or company videos.
      • As soon as you have completed your profile, click on “set up company profile”.
      • After the company profile is ready, you can post an unlimited number of job openings in the back end (within the period of your subscription).
      • For a detailed description on how to do this, please read the information on „posting a job opening“ (points after the registration process).
      • Please note: Your company profile will only be viewable online after it has been authorized by our staff. We make our best effort to do this in a timely manner. We normally check the list of new company profiles and job opening posts in the morning (or at least once a day).
    • Invoicing for the fee-based offer

      As soon as you register for either the “single” or “year subscription profile” and post a job opening or company profile, you enter into a fee-based contractual agreement with the HTWG Konstanz (the “basis” offer is free of charge). The only requirement is that your offer or your profile has been authorized by our staff and thus posted online. For more information, please read our General Terms of Use.

      All revenues go to support the departments where you post your job openings For this reason it is obligatory to select one or more departments in the dropdown menu “key word” when posting a job opening (see also „registering and posting job openings and company profiles“). This helps to simplify our internal work processes.

    • Please have the following information and documents available:

    • Information about your company
      • Company name
      • Company adress
      • Contact person (name, first name, email address, telephone number)
      • Industry
      • Type of company (large company, SME, start-up, public institution/NGO)
    • Information about the job position
      • Title of job posting
      • Description of job tasks
      • Description of desired qualifications
      • Type of contract
      • Salary / remuneration
      • Starting date and duration
      • Professional area
      • Information (key word selection) for the primary department you are targeting1
      • Information on which degree programs the post is targeting (target degree programs)
      • and, where relevant, the number of open positions

       

      1 The job opening can still be viewed by other seekers. The identification supports our internal procedures: All revenues go to support the departments where you post your job openings (both the "single” offer and for publishing a job posting via the “year subscription profile”!).

    • General Terms of Use

      General Terms of Use for the HTWG Konstanz Career Portal (www.htwg-konstanz.de/karriereportal)
      Preamble
      The HTWG Konstanz Career Portal is a service provided for students and companies. The Career Portal offering companies the opportunity to present their organization as a future employer for graduates and students, advertise open positions, and publicize career and recruiting events. Job openings relevant for HTWG Konstanz (subsequently referred to as “HTWG”) students’ and graduates’ studies or careers can be posted here via two types of job posting accounts (Single and Basis). In addition, companies can also present a comprehensive profile of their organization. The profile account allows companies to post an unlimited number of job openings and events and to present themselves as a future employer including their company logo, photos, videos and links.
      Students can also create their own profile and upload a current CV. They can also use a customized filter search to target specific positions, companies and career events and, via the portal, contact companies directly.
      The use of the HTWG Career Portal by students and graduates is done on the basis of public law in fulfillment of the task according to § 2 para.1 sentence 4 of the LHG (Landeshochschulgesetz = State Higher Education Act) and is permissible within the scope of fulfilling this purpose.
      The career portal service at the HTWG is provided via the Career Center Software on an external website from JobTeaser to which users on the HTWG website are forwarded. In order to use the HTWG Career Portal, the user must accept the General Terms of Use as well as the privacy policy from JobTeaser.
      1. Scope
      The present General Terms of Use apply for companies and recruiters in their relation to the HTWG as users of the described – partially fee-based – offers on the HTWG Career Portal. They also apply for public institutions as well as other institutions in their relation to the HTWG as users that make use of the offers on the HTWG Career Portal. Temporary employment and loan agencies are expressly prohibited from using the HTWG Career Portal.
      The HTWG and users of the HTWG Career Portal agree to fulfil the mutually promised services on the basis of this General Terms of Use (subsequently referred to as “TOU”). These apply when using the service or placing the order. An order, according to this TOU, is posting a company profile containing the provided services or a job offering. Any conditions that conflict with or that deviate from these terms of use shall not be recognized unless otherwise agreed-upon in writing.
      2. Copyright
      The content on the HTWG Career Portal website is copyright protected. The content of this website may not be reproduced in any form, processed using electronic systems, duplicated or distributed in so far as the copyright does not expressly permit this without the written authorization of the contractor.
      3. Our Services
      Users have the options of using a recruiter access to place individual job postings and a company profile access to place unlimited job postings and present the company via the HTWG Career Portal.
      4. Contract
      The contract between the user and the HTWG goes into effect when the user registers on the external website from JobTeaser, which the HTWG Career Portal uses, and thus accepting the TOU, or places a company profile or job openings for graduates or students. An invoice will only be prepared if a fee-based profile or job opening is authorized by the staff at the HTWG and is thus posted on the portal.
      The contract length for company profiles is 12 months. The contract is automatically extended for an additional 12 months, if neither the user nor the HTWG terminates the contract two months prior to the end of the contract period. The right for an exceptional termination shall remain unaffected by this. The user also terminates the contract if they delete their company profile account.
      Job postings remain online for 30 days. It is not possible to have this posting automatically extended. The posting can be manually extended or reactivated.
      5. Use of Services
      a) The HTWG Career Portal staff shall make their best effort to post the accepted company profiles as well as the accepted job postings in a timely manner upon receipt.
      b) A link can be placed from the posting to the website of the user. The HTWG shall accept no responsibility for the content of any such external links.
      c) Excluding competition shall not be granted.
      d) Corrections or comparable services shall not be rendered.
      6. Remuneration and Invoicing
      When the user places the order, they accept the valid prices and offers for the HTWG Career Portal. This agreement is then binding. Prices for services not listed on the price list are subject to individual agreements between the HTWG and the user.
      Invoicing takes place after the company profile or fee-based job posting has been authorized or posted unless the two sides have agreed to an independent contract, e.g., in the framework of a cooperation agreement. The address for the invoice will be the address listed in the company profile or the job posting. The invoice will be sent electronically to the email address listed in the company profile.
      7. Refusing Orders
      The HTWG retains the right to refuse orders partially or in full if the content violates laws or official regulations, or if the content, origin, design or the technical format is unacceptable to the contractor. The HTWG also retains the right to refuse orders partially or in full if the content is deemed irrelevant or offers no benefits for HTWG students. The customer will be promptly informed about such refusals.
      8. Liability
      The HTWG shall assume no responsibility for the content of the job posting submitted by the advertiser or any other obligations related to the advertiser (neither for the posting or the offer itself). In so far as the contractor is exposed to claims from third parties due to inappropriate content or violations of the law, which are to be borne by the contractor, the contractor shall indemnify and release the HTWG from all third party claims. This indemnity also includes the necessary legal costs. Claims for damages against the HTWG, legal representatives, executives, subcontractors or assistants shall be ruled out, in so far as no intentional or grossly negligent conduct has occurred or any significant contractual duty (so-called cardinal obligation) has been violated. This is also valid for any claims for damages due to non-fulfillment.
      9. Confidentiality
      The user and the HTWG agree that all knowledge and information about the other that has been made directly or indirectly accessible in the framework of the contract and denoted as confidential shall be treated confidentially and not made accessible to third parties without the express written consent of the other contractual partner. This confidentiality agreement is not valid for technical knowledge and information,
      which one contractual partner already legally owns,
      -which one contractual partner has legally obtained from a third party,
      -which are obvious or become obvious without violating this confidentiality agreement,
      -which the employees in question made accessible to third parties in a legal manner without violating confidentiality,
      -which is the outcome of the work of employees at the contractual partner, where the employees in question had no access to the information, or
      -which are to be disclosed due to laws or regulations / judges orders.
      10. Data Protection
      When using the HTWG Career Portal, both the user and the HTWG are required to observe the data protection provisions. The requirement for using the HTWG Career Portal is accepting the privacy policy for the HTWG’s processing of your company’s contact data and additional data in terms of our collaboration in the framework of the HTWG Career Portal. The data that is transmitted and exchanged in the framework of the user agreement is processed by the HTWG exclusively for the purposes of the contract and stored exclusively in the scope of administering the HTWG Career Portal. The data is not used for any other purposes.
      11. External Links
      The HTWG Career Portal contains links to external websites. Due to the fact that these websites are not subject to influences by the operator, the operator takes no responsibility for their content. The legal responsibility, also regarding data protection, belongs exclusively to the operators of the external websites.
      12. Final Provisions
      a) This written agreement replaces all other previous oral or written agreements between the HTWG and the user regarding the subject matter contained in this contract.
      b) Should a provision in this agreement be or become invalid, it shall not affect the other provisions in this agreement. The provision should instead be replaced retroactively by a rule that is legally permitted and comes as close to the content of the original provision as possible. The same shall apply in the case of a loophole.
      c) Any changes or amendments to this agreement must be made in writing. This is also true for changing this written form requirement.
      d) The HTWG and users of the HTWG Career Portal should try to settle any possible differences of opinion that may arise in an amicable fashion.
      e) German law is applicable for this contract. The jurisdiction is Konstanz, Germany.
