Need to Advertise

“Hard-to-fill” positions are those for which targeted advertising yields poor results. Searching more creatively and widely for likely candidates may be more effective. Search efforts may include searching the Candidate Register, contacting preferred recruitment service providers, or using professional networks to obtain leads about potential applicants. Refer to the Preparing to Recruit and Attract Staff policy. The normal selection process applies.

Vacancies, for a period of up to 2 years, may be filled without advertising. However, this non-competitive process precludes the staff member from future promotion. This can be avoided be applying a competitive selection process on entry to the University.

Internal professional and general staff vacancies may be filled by applying the Fast Track Appointment policy.
