Recruitment and Selection

Our policy provides a framework and core principles for the recruitment and selection of staff at our University. The accompanying procedure provides clear guidance on the key stages involved.

Our policy and procedure covers all stages of the Recruitment and Selection process and is applicable to all staff recruitment.

Human Resources is responsible for ensuring that the policy and procedure are communicated and applied throughout our University. All colleagues involved in the Recruitment and Selection process are responsible for adhering to the policy and procedure at all times.

An Essential Guide provides additional guidance to managers throughout all stages of the Recruitment and Selection process and supports Recruitment and Selection training for panel members. The Guide comprises summary advice on a range of relevant topics.
