Thoughts in 30: Running a Non-discriminatory Staff Search (Video)
HR strongly recommends that all individuals, and especially those involved in staff hiring, review the Thoughts in 30: Running a Non-discriminatory Staff Search video before engaging in the recruitment and selection process and then every two years or sooner if updated guidance necessitates revisions to the content.
Enhancing the Faculty Search Process (Training)
Search committee chairs, search committee members, and hiring managers must complete the Enhancing the Faculty Search Process: Guidance for Faculty Search Committee and Academic Leaders training in Workday before engaging in the recruitment and selection process.
