Recruiting, Advertising, And Posting Positions

(effective 1/1/08)

Job posting is a way to inform employees of vacancies and to identify qualified and interested applicants who might not otherwise be known to the hiring manager. Position vacancies are posted on the web. Positions will normally remain open for at least five business days, but applicants are accepted until the position is filled.

Vacant positions may also be advertised in local, regional, and national newspapers, list serves, and periodicals, depending on the nature of the position.

On occasion, certain positions will be advertised on-campus only and such positions will be noted by the label Internal Candidates Only. Internal Candidates Only vacancies are designed to encourage current staff to apply for positions on campus. It is the prerogative of the hiring manager, in consultation with Human Resources, to have an open search, an internal search, or a combination of the two searches based the needs of the particular department. Postings will normally remain open for five business days.

Faculty vacancies will follow Faculty policies approved by the Provost's Office.
