Candidate Work Authorization Options When Advertising an Opportunity
1. All MBA candidates
Your organization/division will consider all MBA students: U.S. citizens, permanent residents and international passport holders.
Most international students hold F-1 visas. Under this type of visa, students are eligible to complete a summer internship and up to 12 months post-graduation employment without any required "sponsorship" from the employer.
2. Candidates with U.S. work authorization eligible to work without restriction
Your organization/division will consider only MBAs with unrestricted work authorization in the United States.
Stern international students comprise approximately 30% of the total student population of both first and second year students. Please note that selecting this category will eliminate highly-qualified candidates. International students are eligible to complete summer internships and up to 12 months post-graduation employment with no “sponsorship” from the employer necessary. All paperwork and/or fees are the responsibility of NYU and the individual student.
3. Candidates with authorization to work in a position located outside of the U.S.
This position is based outside the United States and is open to candidates with work authorization in that location. For positions outside the United States, work authorization, language skills, prior work experience or other factors may be relevant and should be indicated in the job posting.
Additional Questions
If you are unsure of the hiring policy for your organization/division, please refer to your internal Human Resources specialist. Policies may differ within company divisions and you may inadvertently restrict your pool of eligible candidates.
