Advertising

Online

Due to compressed pay weeks and in to enable issuing and acceptance of contracts to be completed in a timely manner prior to Christmas closedown, any roles which need to be advertised prior to Christmas must be received by the Recruitment and Appointments team in Page Up (fully approved) by close of business on 19ÌýNovember 2021. This will enable sufficient time for an internal sourcing process to run and a subsequent external process to commence if no suitable candidates are identified internally.Ìý

To enable this deadline to be met, a reminder that there are currently additional approvals within the workflows, per the Hiring Controls, which can be accessed via this link.

For academic roles which require a minimum of 28 days advertising for the purposes of Labour Market Testing for possible visa sponsorship please give consideration to delaying recruitment processes to the New Year where this is possible. As the University will be closed for an extended period, it is not desirable to have positions open for long periods during this time as interested candidates will not be able to contact anyone with queries or address any technical issues with applications.

Any recruitment advertising received after 19ÌýNovember will not be advertised until the University reopens on 04ÌýJanuary 2022.

Print

Last print edition and approved request via PageUp will be COB Friday 19ÌýNovember 2021.

Any advertising requests received through PageUp after this time will not be processed until the New Year.

Market research on candidate response rates to advertising over the Christmas and New Year period shows a low level of candidate responses and a reduction in eligible candidates applying for roles. We have therefore implemented an advertising cut off period to ensure that you receive the best possible outcome from advertising.

Should you choose to advertise roles in December please ensure all advertising cut off dates reflect your ability to respond to candidates in a timely manner, i.e. if you are unable to respond to candidates until the beginning of January we would advise that the cut-off date of your position reflects this date to manage candidate expectations relating to their acknowledgement.

ITDS Overtime and On-Call Payments

Time worked at the end of the fortnight may need to be forecast ahead of submission during these compressed fortnights.
