SECTION 103.1: RECRUITMENT FOR EXECUTIVE/ADMINISTRATIVE/MANAGERIAL, ACADEMIC STAFF AND OTHER NON-BANDED POSITIONS (0000, 1000 and 2000 positions)

SOURCE: NDSU President

1. Recruitment Areas

   1.1

   Generally, all full-time executive/administrative/managerial, academic staff and other non-banded positions require a national search. Based on the source of funding, salary ranges, and local availability, however, some of these positions require only a regional search (a wider search is always an option, if the hiring official wishes). EXCEPTIONS to the national search requirement for these types of positions include:

   1.1.1

   2000 level: lecturer, research assistant, assistant coach, assistant experiment station specialist, Extension district directors, Extension area specialists, and Extension field staff.

   1.2

   Regular, part-time payroll positions (without regard to the funding source) require only a local search.

2. Recruitment Methods

2.1

Recruitment is a critical function for an effective equal opportunity/affirmative action employment program because increased diversity in the applicant pool is essential in order to increase the diversity of people actually employed. With this objective in mind, some potentially fruitful recruitment channels include:

2.1.1

Advertisements in appropriate professional journals and job registries and/or in The Chronicle of Higher Education. Publications which solicit advertisements on the basis of direct minority circulation are generally not a required method for recruiting; however, if applicant pools consistently lack diversity, a publication such as Affirmative Action Register should be considered.

2.1.2

Regional or national meetings of professional organizations and associations; women's and minority caucuses associated with professional groups are especially helpful and important.

2.1.3

College/University academic departments and placement offices especially at institutions where the student body is composed primarily of women or racial/ethnic minorities.

2.1.4

Industries, government, independent research institutions, etc., where racial/ethnic minorities or women are professionally engaged.

2.1.5

Directories (usually published annually) of minority college graduates, women/minority doctoral recipients, etc.; the NDSU Equity and Diversity Office has a number of these directories available.

Recruitment (placement of advertisements, position announcement mailings, etc.) for administrative and academic positions is the responsibility of the hiring department. Once the Request to Recruit is approved, however, a notice is sent routinely from Equity and Diversity Office to the Career Services Office for their listing which is distributed to Job Service offices throughout the state.

All recruitment information should include the statement NORTH DAKOTA STATE UNIVERSITY IS AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY INSTITUTION.
