Procedure for Recruitment of Academic, Administrative, and Professional Employees Policy (724)
Effective Date: N/A
Permanent administrative, academic, and professional positions on Regents’ or 猎奇重口 University System contracts and Letters of Appointment are generally advertised nationwide. When time and budget limitations preclude a national search, the hiring department shall request permission to limit the recruitment area or request a Recruitment Exception. A person appointed to a temporary position may serve for a limited time only.
The position description and selection criteria must be reviewed and approved by the Human Resource Services (HRS) Recruitment department prior to advertising the vacancy. Job-related selection criteria must be provided in writing before any applications are screened. The criteria must be applied uniformly to all applicants by those responsible for the selection. The HRS Recruitment department shall grant pre-interview approval prior to the scheduling of any interviews.
Pre-hire documentation is required for all candidates for administrative, academic, or professional positions and must include the following: three (3) letters of recommendation, including one from a supervisor, and an official transcript for the terminal degree held by the applicant. Exceptions to the required hiring documentation may be approved only by the appropriate Vice President.
Written justification for applicants not selected for an interview shall be submitted to the HRS Recruitment department. Candidates selected for an interview shall be treated similarly with regard to the timing and structure of the interviews. After interviews, the recommendation to hire the selected applicant and justifications for those candidates interviewed but not selected must be reviewed and approved by the HRS Recruitment department before an employment offer can be extended.
To ensure that state and federal record-keeping requirements are met, an Administrative, Academic, and Contract Professional recruitment process for hiring authorities and search committee chairs has been developed. The HRS Recruitment department provides this list and the HRS Recruitment Manager provides current affirmative action hiring goals for minorities and women to search chairs before the recruitment is initiated.
Affirmative Action Plan Exceptions: Academic and administrative appointments can be made without a search in limited special circumstances, following procedures set forth in the Affirmative Action Plan Exceptions Policy.
