Recruitment

Posting Period
 

All positions must be posted for a minimum of 10 business days. The business days are Monday through Friday, and in accordance to the days that the university is open. 

The position may be posted longer based upon the job market specific to that position.  The hiring departments must request this at the beginning of the search to support external and print advertising schedules, search committee schedules and networking opportunities. (e.g. conferences)  A priority consideration date is recommended to permit interviewing during the longer posting period. The result is a quicker response time and efficient recruiting of qualified applicants.  Resumes can still be accepted after the priority consideration date.

A deadline date to apply will appear on all job postings.  Face-to-face interviews cannot commence until after the priority consideration date in order to give the search adequate time to build a qualified pool of applicants.

Any position of Director III and above (unclassified) maybe advertised as "open until filled." The hiring department must state a priority consideration date to manage expectations and effectively attract interested and qualified candidates.  The position will continue to post on the Employment Opportunities website and Job List after the priority consideration date with the language “Position is open until filled”.
