PE 402 - Recruitment and Selection

Recruitment of the professional and support staff members of the Eastern Iowa Community College District (EICCD) shall be the responsibility of the Executive Officer. In the discharge of this responsibility the Executive Officer shall make such use of the Director of Human Resources and other administrative or supervisory staff members as may be both practical and effective.

Recruitment efforts shall be determined based on the requirements of the position(s) to be filled and the apparent availability of potential applicants who are qualified or able to qualify for the position(s).

Recruitment and selection of EICCD employees will align with EICCD professional standards and will align with EICCD mission, vision, and values.

Positions which are to be opened shall be posted in a prominent location at all EICCD locations and on the EICCD careers website so that all present employees of the District will have equal opportunity to compete for the vacancies with non‑employees.

Selection for all positions shall be based on job‑related factors in determining the applicant who possesses to the greatest degree the skills, knowledge and abilities necessary to fill the vacant position. Selection for all open positions shall be made after competition for the position and shall require licensure if required by statutory enactment and the Department of Education.

The Executive Officer shall recommend to the Board of Trustees the applicant considered most qualified for any licensed or contracted vacancy, and if the Board concurs with the recommendation of the Executive Officer, the Board shall then authorize the President of the Board of Trustees to sign the applicant’s contract.

In the case of non‑licensed or non-contracted positions, the Executive Officer shall determine the most qualified applicant and shall then cause a notice of employment to be issued to the applicant and shall notify the Board of Trustees of the employment action.

An opening may be posted and filled internally at the discretion of the Executive Officer.
