Recruitment timelines

To ensure that we deliver excellent customer service, the following timelines are in place. Please contact your Resourcing Adviser to discuss timelines as soon as you are aware that you have a vacancy. For full details regarding timelines and the recruitment process please read the Resourcing Guidance (.pdf) and Underpinning Framework (.pdf).

Vacancy advertising

Please allow five working days from the Resourcing Team receiving full documentation (funding approval and complete job pack template) via the e-Recruitment system (iTrent) to your post being advertised.

Advertising period

We recommend that posts are advertised for a minimum of two weeks including two weekends.

Shortlisting grids

Once shortlisting has taken place, the hiring manager should upload the shortlisting grid to the e-recruitment system (iTrent). For Professional Services posts, please upload the shortlisting grid once you have sent out your invitations to interview. The resourcing team will then contact the unsuccessful candidates on your behalf. For academic posts, please upload the grid 12 working days prior to the interview date.
