A - 7.2 The Advertisement

  • Specific information about advertising can be found in the Human Resources Policies and Procedures. Contact the HR Adviser (Recruitment) in Human Resources on extension 4273 for assistance in the preparation and placement of advertisements.
  • Publications such as Campus Review and The Directory are targeted specifically to universities and higher education institutions.
  • To assist in increasing the number of women applicants, word the advertisement to encourage applications from women. For example:
    • include a statement in the advertisement such as 'women are particularly encouraged to apply' or 'should have the capacity to advance the interests of both male and female students'.
    • note in the advertisement any areas of teaching or research that may be of particular relevance or interest to women or where there has been a high level of enrolments from female students, for example, feminist studies, environmental studies or development studies.
  • Given the differences between academic years it will be important to consider the timing of the advertisement if applicants from the northern hemisphere are being sought.
