Recruitment Services
The quality of the UMKC faculty and staff shapes the reputation of the university. No activity is more critical than the choice of these individuals. Success in attracting and hiring top candidates depends upon a carefully planned and conducted search process. Every participant in the search process must prove skill and competence in selection processes and procedures and in the application of effective selection tools. It is the recruitment team's job to see that this process is followed.
Full Cycle Recruitment
Working in Talent Management, our recruiters provide Full Cycle Recruitment (FCR) Services to UMKC. FCR provides a customized and strategic recruitment plan from the time your position is open all the way to onboarding of your new employee. Our aim is to positively affect student success by recruiting and retaining a highly competent, and engaged workforce, impact quality of hire and reduce time to hire.
Minimum Posting Requirement
UMKC has a long-established practice of filling employment openings by conducting open, equitable, and competitive searches. This allows us to benefit from the vast experiences of interested applicants. Hence, all new or vacant academic and staff openings should be posted in eRecruit for a minimal amount of time (5 calendar days). This is applicable to full- and part-time academic and staff positions, including temporary staff positions. Certain academic positions may require a longer posting duration as outlined on the Academic Hiring website.
On occasion we are faced with circumstances in which an exception to this practice is appropriate. The hiring manager may submit a requst for an Abridged Hiring Process to move forward without the minimum posting requirement.
