Duke is committed to ensuring a fair and equitable recruiting and hiring process that results in the appropriate match of skills, knowledge, experience, and job requirements.

When planning a staff recruitment, a hiring supervisor should ensure the job description is up-to-date, determine if the position has an affirmative action hiring goal, and then begin the recruitment process by considering priority and internal candidates. The hiring supervisor should consider and interview all qualified priority and internal applicants - especially those who are on redeployment, layoff, or return-to-work status.
