Internal Recruitment

Internal Recruitment

Internal recruitment limits applicant consideration to current UTA employees.

Key Considerations

  • Positions should generally be posted internally for a minimum of five business days.
  • Candidates must meet the minimum qualifications listed in the job posting.
  • Departments should review the Employee Transfer Policy (HR-E-PO-16) prior to interviewing current employees.
  • Internal postings may be expanded to external recruitment if additional candidate pools are needed.

External Recruitment

External Recruitment

External recruitment allows departments to consider both current UTA employees and external applicants.

Key Considerations

  • Positions should generally remain posted for five to ten business days.
  • Extended posting periods may increase visibility and applicant volume.
  • Recruitment timelines may vary based on market conditions, position requirements, and candidate availability.
