Recruiting & Hiring

Strategic Recruitment

Equal employment opportunity is provided to all employees and qualified applicants without regard to race, color, national origin (including shared ancestry/ethnicity), religion, sex, age, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, pregnancy or pregnancy-related condition, genetic information, marital or parental status, veteran's status, political belief or affiliation or any other status protected by law. Recruiting to attract a broad qualified applicant pool requires strategic planning to reach those looking for new opportunities, as well as the outstanding individuals who are not actively looking for a new job. A recruitment plan should contain strategies to move the University towards these goals.

Advertising Your Position

Advertising is crucial because the success or failure of identifying, attracting, and maintaining a pool of qualified candidates depends, in part, on the quality and variety of communication and media used to inform potential applicants and the coordination and timely placement of advertisements and other announcements.

UND uses auto-enabled centralized advertising (at no additional charge for departments) for faculty and staff job vacancies. Your position will be posted automatically on the University of North Dakota website. This will then generate a job placement on the North Dakota Job Service website. No-cost auto-enabled advertising venues include: Indeed.com and other sites. Additionally, departments are encouraged to advertise in journals, publications and other recruiting media that are relevant to the position. The University is committed to running open public searches aimed at attracting qualified applicant pools. In addition to traditional and technology-based advertising venues, we must engage in active recruitment to build our applicant pools. All active recruitment strategies should be noted and retained as part of the search documentation.

Required Posting Language

 All position postings must contain the required EEO tagline.
