2. POLICY STATEMENT
2.1. Posting Requirements
Once the Position Management Process is completed the position may be posted for internal or external candidates to apply. The department should first provide internal notification to those in the department that a position is available and ask for those interested to contact the hiring manager. If the hiring manager chooses to fill the position from within their department, no further posting is necessary.

Positions not filled from within the department must be posted on campus, and externally if desired, for at least five days on the University posting site. The minimum of the Market Reference Range (MRR) must be posted in the ‘Hiring Pay Range’ section of the posting.
