The URI Board of Trustees approved a Policy on Employee Recruitment, Selection, and Hiring effective July 1, 2024.
The University of Rhode Island hires employees to provide a wide range of services to meet its mission including teaching and research faculty, operational and administrative staff, and executive leadership.
The Policy on Employee Recruitment, Selection, and Hiring provides the provisions for filling roles at the University of Rhode Island.
This new policy merges multiple hiring polices and practices administered by the Office of Human Resource Administration and is intended to be a comprehensive policy.
Procedures for the Policy on Employee Recruitment Selection and Hiring
