Recruitment provides opportunities for departments to identify needed skill sets, and complement existing talent in order to achieve school/unit and university goals. Proper planning and evaluation of needs will help ensure the right person for the role and team is hired. When attrition occurs, or the need to establish a new position is evident, hiring managers should begin the employment process by reviewing their department’s organizational needs. Managers should collaborate with key stakeholders and HR in order to compare current talent against existing and possible needs.
