Duke Receives National Award for Recruitment & Staffing
Duke University received third place for the Recruiting & Staffing Best In Class (RASBIC) award in the "Best Overall Recruiting & Staffing Organization of the Year" category. The award was announced at the Annual Recruiting & Staffing Summit awards dinner in New Orleans on September 16, 2003.
Of the 60 institutions competing, Duke was the only university and health system that received an award. Wachovia Corporation received the first place award and Verizon Wireless received second place.
"Duke focuses on improving the quality of hires, identifying and retaining the best talent and developing high-performing staff," said Linda Hendricks, assistant vice president for Human Resources, Recruitment and Talent Management, who oversees Recruitment, Duke Temporary Service and the Professional Development Institute. "In a competitive environment, employers have exhausted cost-cutting improvements and have lost their most valuable resource - their best employees. Duke has developed internal and external recruitment programs and has focused on retention by providing a family-friendly environment."
Duke's staffing plan integrates recruitment with flexible staffing and professional development programs. Both the new Duke Temporary Service program and the Professional Development Institute, which were introduced last year, have helped strengthen these important interrelationships and provide better service to Duke.
"It is essential that Duke balance its focus on external recruitment, internal development and promotion, and retention," Hendricks said. "Over the next 10-15 years, the need for talent is expected to grow by 30 to 35 percent, with the supply of top talent expected to decline by 10 to 20 percent."
