1. Our Curation Philosophy
At CampusToCareer, our goal is to help Indian engineering students, college freshers, and early-career job seekers discover authentic opportunities without wading through spam, expired listings, or deceptive aggregators.
CampusToCareer operates as an independent platform curated directly from publicly available employer hiring portals. Every job listing on our board links straight to the company's official application page — whether hosted on Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, or a direct corporate domain. We do not act as an intermediary, we do not collect resumes on behalf of employers, and we never charge candidates for job access.
2. Our 5-Point Curation Standards
Before any job opportunity is indexed on our public board, it must meet five baseline criteria:
1. Direct Official Application Route
The application link must point directly to the hiring employer's authenticated careers portal or an authorized applicant tracking system (ATS). We reject third-party affiliate redirects, multi-hop tracking URLs, and ad-gated application pages.
2. Explicit Role & Eligibility Context
Each listing must include a clear job title, designated company name, location (on-site, hybrid, or remote), and recognizable eligibility criteria (e.g., target graduating batch, relevant degree disciplines, or core technical requirements).
3. Zero Candidate Fees
CampusToCareer strictly prohibits any opportunity that requires applicants to pay for assessment registrations, training bootcamps, onboarding materials, or placement guarantees. Legitimate employment never requires candidate payment.
4. Transparency in Employment Type
Listings must clearly indicate whether the role is a full-time position, a fixed-term internship, or a graduate training program. We do not publish commission-only sales schemes or multi-level marketing setups disguised as technical roles.
5. Freshness & Active Hiring Status
We verify that the role is currently accepting submissions at the time of indexing. Stale listings from closed hiring cycles are discarded before publication.
3. Link & Domain Verification Checks
To protect applicants from fraudulent or deceptive schemes, external application URLs undergo standard domain integrity checks:
- Official Careers Portals: Links must resolve to legitimate employer domains or recognized ATS infrastructure (e.g.,
*.myworkdayjobs.com,boards.greenhouse.io,jobs.lever.co,smartrecruiters.com). - Domain Freshness & Reputation: Newly registered domains with no established corporate footprint or public team information are rejected.
- Secure Protocols: Application links must support encrypted HTTPS connections to protect candidate privacy during submission.
4. Prohibited Job Postings
To maintain student safety, the following categories are strictly barred from CampusToCareer:
- Paid Training & Placement Fees: Any program demanding money for "guaranteed placement," examination fees, or mandatory paid certifications.
- Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) & Pyramids: Direct sales structures requiring candidates to recruit others or buy starter packages.
- Data Harvesting Portals: Forms that collect candidate phone numbers and email addresses without an active corporate requisition.
- Deceptive Job Descriptions: Postings that misrepresent technical software engineering roles as cold-calling or data entry jobs.
5. The 14-Day Freshness Policy
One of the primary frustrations freshers experience on traditional job boards is spending hours applying to positions that were filled months ago.
CampusToCareer implements an automated 14-day freshness rule: listings older than 14 days from their publishing date are automatically expired and removed from our public feeds and search filters. If an employer extends a drive or opens a second cohort, a fresh listing is curated with current details.
6. Community Flagging & Reporting
If you encounter an inactive link, an expired drive, or a listing that violates our standards, please report it immediately:
- Use our Contact Page to submit the job URL.
- Describe the issue (e.g., "Application link returns 404", "Recruiter requested a fee", "Drive closed early").
- Reports are investigated promptly and invalid listings are removed.
