Recruitment Planning

Job Duties
What work needs to be done and how will it be done?  How does this job relate to current staffing and assigned duties?  Should job assignments be adjusted?  Should I advertise as a series?  What information about the department should be conveyed in the vacancy announcement on www.iastatejobs.com?

Qualifications
What are the minimum acceptable qualifications necessary to perform the defined job duties?  Beyond these required qualifications, what preferred qualifications will be used to determine who to interview?  How will these qualifications be measured?

Conditions of Employment
How long will the job last?  How many hours per week will it take to perform the tasks?  Where will the employee work?

Recruitment Strategy
How and where will I recruit applicants? When do I need someone to start? When do I need to initiate the recruitment process?

Costs
Salary? Benefit costs? Interviewing expenses? Relocation expenses? Office/Lab Space and Equipment expenses? Training expenses? Background Check costs?

Employment Verification and Background Check
What type of background check is required? How will I verify that selected applicant has received the degree listed on resume? How will I verify that selected candidate has the required license/certification?

Search Committee
Do I need to involve others in the selection process?  When should others be involved? How many and who?
