AUL,HR and supervisor prepare final recruitment announcement, specifying position description, minimum qualifications, salary, rank, appointment date, instructions for submitting names of persons from whom letters of reference may be solicited, and filing deadline. The Director begins Academic Recruitment Affirmative Action Approval Sheet and adds national availability data by sex and ethnicity as an indication of the application pool characteristics that might be expected in that recruitment. This document is used to signify approval at each step of the recruitment process. The Director may request additional information regarding the selection or rejection of individuals at any point in the process. As applications or letters of inquiry are received, AUL,HR sends to applicants an Affirmative Action Data Card, a copy of the position announcement, a biography form, and other appropriate documents.
Supervisor prepares letter requesting letters of reference.
Supervisor and committee screen applicant pool for candidates. A candidate is an applicant who meets the minimum advertised qualifications. It may be appropriate at this time for the supervisor and committee to meet and review the applicant pool with regard to qualifications and Affirmative Action guidelines. AUL,HR requests letters of reference for candidates specified by the supervisor in consultation with the committee. Final filing date may be extended, if the supervisor, in consultation with the committee, finds the pool inadequate.
