IV. Criteria

All vacancies covered by Personnel Policies for Staff Members, including MSP positions, are eligible for this program by department request.  Campus-only recruitments should follow fair hiring and Equal Employment Opportunity/Affirmative Action best practices as outlined in the Fair Hiring Guide, ensuring that all applicants are given full and fair consideration for the vacancy.

V.  Process Overview

Hiring Managers and Committee Chairs are required to complete Fair Hiring Training every 3 years. 

The recruitment process for a Campus-Only Recruitment mirrors the Open Recruitment process with the nuances outlined below:

  • The job posting includes language to identify the job as campus only and includes detailed instructions for applicants to apply
  • Current employees must apply to the job posting via the Internal Candidate Gateway
  • Only current employees who apply through the Internal Candidate Gateway will be routed to the hiring unit for consideration

When the HM or designee requests the recruitment through the Job Opening Request Form, you will indicate that your request is for a competitive, internal recruitment. 

A minimum of two (2) campus-only eligible applicants are required to conduct an internal screening process. If there are not enough applicants to proceed with a campus-only recruitment, Talent Acquisition will contact the hiring unit with options.

If there are two (2) or more eligible internal applicants, Talent Acquisition will route the applications to the hiring unit as usual. If after the applicant screening process, the hiring unit does not feel the pool is qualified, they can reach out to their TA Consultant to request the recruitment is converted to an open recruitment. When the recruitment is converted, a new initial review date (IRD) will be established and all applicants will be eligible to be routed for consideration after the new IRD passes (2 week minimum from conversion date).
