Hiring supervisors are responsible for the interviewing of applicants for vacant positions in their department. The candidate pool should be sufficient enough to enable selection of several qualified, diverse, and interested applicants for interview. If this goal is not achieved, the hiring supervisor should contact the recruiter to discuss further recruitment efforts.

The candidates considered for interviews should include - but need not be limited to - qualified staff on layoff or reduction-in-force, staff returning from instances of worker’s compensation or disability, and those candidates who will advance Duke's goals for diversity - including those candidates who would help Duke meet its affirmative action goals.

If they have not yet done so, applicants contacted for interviews should be asked to complete Duke's application process on-line.
