SECTION 105: APPLICANT FLOW INFORMATION

SOURCE: NDSU President

1. Applicant flow cards are used for all positions. These cards provide important information about the diversity of the applicant pool and the effectiveness of various recruitment methods.

2. In the case of positions for which applications are sent directly to the employing department, the department should send a card and a postage-paid pre-addressed envelope to each applicant with a letter acknowledging receipt of the application. (Cards and envelopes are sent to the department when the Request to Recruit is signed.) Please keep or return extra cards and envelopes.

   In the case of positions for which applications are sent to the Human Resources/Payroll Office, that office will acknowledge receipt of the application and include a card and envelope.

3. After the closing date for applications, a summary of the applicant information is compiled and becomes a part of the transaction file. A copy is available to the department upon request. At the end of the fiscal year these summaries are compiled into a report which shows the overall applicant pool by college (for academic or administrative positions) or type of position (for broadbanded staff positions).

HISTORY: July 1990; Amended December 1999.
