Recruitment & Hiring Processes

Our purpose is to create an onboarding experience where new hires adjust to the social and performance aspects of their jobs so they can quickly become productive, contributing members of the organization while achieving satisfaction in their new roles.​

Posting a Position

The recruitment process should begin with reviewing the job description (and updating if needed), paying special attention to the Education and Experience information listed, which will be utilized for screening and qualifying applicants. Then, whether new or existing, the hiring manager should consult with the respective Vice President (VP) about the position.  Next, submit a formal request to Human Resources (HR).  For non-budgeted positions, please complete a Job Posting Request form.  For budgeted positions, please complete a Hiring Freeze Exception form and obtain all appropriate approvals.

HR will verify the final posting details and post the position on the college’s employment page.  It will also be advertised on external job boards such as Chronicle Vitae and Higher Ed Jobs.

Note: The advertised qualifications cannot be changed.

Screening and Interviewing

The applicant pool will be released to the hiring committee once adequate diversity has been met, generally within a few days of the job posting.  Subsequently, new applications will be released as they are received in the system.

Screening

Application and resume review is a critical task that requires consistent and fair treatment of all applicants. The role of the hiring committee is to ensure that the screening process is as objective as possible when assessing the individual’s qualifications for the job and any other personal characteristics that would be of value to the college without regard to race, gender, disability, national origin, religion, etc.

Veterans’ Preference

The college’s administration of Veterans’ Preference covers only Career Service positions, pursuant to Florida Statutes Section 295.07(a). The hiring committee must give veterans a preference for any Career Service positions. In the event that a qualified veteran has not been selected for an interview during the initial screening, the group will review the veteran applicants once again and select for an interview the veteran applicant whose qualifications match those specified for the position.

Shortlist & Interviewing

The hiring manager should develop a shortlist of 3 – 5 candidates for interviewing.  HR must review and approve the list of applicants prior to invitation.  Job-related interview notes, using the Interview Recording Worksheet, should be recorded.

Be objective. Remember that all applicants must be evaluated by the same criteria.

Hiring a Candidate

In order to hire the selected candidate for the position, a PAR form should be completed in the Personnel Actions system.  Once it’s approved by all levels, the PAR will be assigned to HR.  Next, HR will perform due-diligence work which includes verifying employment history and completing a background check.

After the background check results are approved, HR will send an offer letter to the hiring manager.  Once the offer letter and interview notes are returned to HR, HR will be able to close the job posting and send status notices to all applicants in the pool.

Effective & Consistent Off-Boarding Processes

An effective and consistent off-boarding process plays an important role in protecting the interests of both the College and exiting employees. In addition to safety, security, and protection of physical assets, it is important to remember that past employees will continue to act as ambassadors regarding the work environment and can serve as a terrific source for referrals and open feedback. A streamlined off-boarding process provides benefits in a number of ways. 

Use of off-boarding procedures:

  • Protects physical property and maintains an operating knowledge base
  • Ensures compliance and security regarding systems and physical access
  • Assists in the transfer of knowledge
  • Collects valuable feedback
  • Helps maintain and promote our reputation as an employer of choice
  • Provides employees with an organized way to wrap up and transfer projects
