The University's objective is to recruit, select and appoint the best people available for positions. This will be done within approved establishment and budget limits. Selection will be on the basis of merit and the principles of equal opportunity will apply. The formal recruitment and selection process applies to all professional staff positions up to and including USQ Level 10, and academic positions up to and including Academic Level E, where the positions are continuing or fixed-term exceeding six months. A Request to Advertise form (incorporating a Business Case to Recruit a Position) is used to initiate recruitment and selection. The form should be completed and forwarded to the relevant delegate for approval with a draft position description and advertisement attached. The approved Request to Advertise form, position description and advertisement are then forwarded electronically to Human Resources to commence the recruitment process. Human Resources will evaluate all professional employee positions prior to recruitment action. Human Resources then organises all recruitment advertising, and coordinates the shortlisting, interview and appointment processes. |
