It is our goal to reduce the advertising expenses as much as possible while also bringing in promising, educated candidates. We ask for your assistance with this goal. You can help by thinking about the position you have open and matching it with the best publication, website, or organization that you feel will have readers\/subscribers who would make possible candidates. Please submit job advertisements to other universities and organizations that you feel would generate promising applicants.<\/p>\n<p>If you feel there are potential candidates on campus or in the area that would be a good match for your position, please do not request to advertise outside of the university website. We will advertise on the DSU website and you should encourage the potential candidates to submit an application through PeopleAdmin. If the position is only advertised on the DSU website and we have not received sufficient applications, we can then look to reopening the position and advertising publicly.<\/p>\n<p>In order to eliminate expenses, the Human Resource office will advertise with the most cost efficient method. For example, the average expense to advertise in print in The Chronicle is $450, the online fee is $295 with no word limit, therefore, we would only advertise online.<\/p>\n<p>The Office of Human Resources makes the final decision as to whether a position will be advertised. Examples of positions that will not be advertised outside of the DSU website are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>administrative or secretarial<\/li>\n<li>custodial<\/li>\n<li>janitorial<\/li>\n<li>resident hall assistants<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Grant funded positions:<\/p>\n<p>If your position is Grant Funded, the Office of Human Resources will consult with the department\/division to determine if there is money in the grant to assist in paying for the advertising.<\/p>\n<p>What if we do not receive enough applicants?<\/p>\n<p>If your position has been advertised publicly and has expired with an insufficient number of applications received, you may request additional advertising by sending an email with a detailed explanation of your request to <a href=\"mailto:rbouse@deltastate.edu\">Rebecca Bouse<\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][\/toggles][vc_column_text]\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The Office of Human Resources reserves the right to amend any and all of the Recruitment Budget Guidelines as deemed necessary.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221;&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":530,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":99,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-left-sidebar.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-37","page","type-page","status-publish"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.deltastate.edu\/human-resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/37","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.deltastate.edu\/human-resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.deltastate.edu\/human-resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.deltastate.edu\/human-resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/530"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.deltastate.edu\/human-resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=37"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/www.deltastate.edu\/human-resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/37\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1341,"href":"https:\/\/www.deltastate.edu\/human-resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/37\/revisions\/1341"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.deltastate.edu\/human-resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=37"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
