Recruiting and Staffing

The foundation of Carnegie Mellon's success is the exceptional faculty and staff who work here.  Their talent, dedication, passion and skill have lead us to success around the world.  By bringing together a diverse group of people, we have benefited from the differing skill sets, experiences, perspectives and strengths that each person brings.  In our collaborative, entrepreneurial environment, we enable people to work together in exciting and productive new ways.

But finding just the right person to staff your department is a challenge. 

• How do you let the best candidates know about your open jobs and encourage them to apply?
• How can you scan through the many applications and identify the best potential hires?
• What questions should you ask to make sure you are getting the best fit?
• What features about the university and your group will induce the right candidate to accept your hire offer?
• How do you get new hires off the best start?

This section contains a lot of information to help you through the entire process of finding, hiring and welcoming the best talent.  But contacting Staffing Services before you hire is a great first step.  They can assist you in workforce planning, developing a recruiting plan, and conducting a search that is completed faster and better.
