A regular search is required for all positions. Contact IEC at 402-472-3417 or via email at equity2@unl.edu if you have any questions during your search process. We are here to help you conduct a fair and equitable search. If there are unusual circumstances where a regular search would result in an adverse impact on the university, waiving the search may be appropriate.

Step 1: Position Posting
The first step in every search is to create a position requisition in PeopleAdmin. Once this is complete, IEC will send a notification email to the hiring manager(s) and search chair listed in the requisition. Please contact Human Resources (402-472-3101) regarding office/service positions.
The next steps in the search process are:
2. Advertising Approval and Position Announcements (see below)
3. Hiring Official/Search Committee Approval
4. Reviewing Applicants (Applicant Log)
5. Approval to Interview (Short List)
6. Closing the Search
Step 2: Advertising and Position Announcements
Managerial/Professional
Advertisements for open managerial/professional positions are handled by Human Resources. Upon request, IEC will provide 50 free position announcements that can be used for recruiting.
Faculty/Administrative
Advertisements for faculty/administrative positions are often posted in external publications at departmental expense. All ads must be approved by IEC prior to publication to ensure the following are included: (1) minimum and preferred qualifications; (2) a review of applications date; (3) the how to apply instructions; and (4) the required tag line (see below). The review date must be at least 30 days after the ad is published. Also, the qualifications listed in the ad must match the qualifications posted in the requisition. The position will not be posted until the proposed ad is submitted and approved. If the department wants to create new ads after the posting, the new ads must be submitted for approval prior to publication. Upon request, IEC will provide 50 free position announcements that can be used for recruiting.

As an EO/AA employer, the University of Nebraska considers qualified applicants for employment without regard to race, color, ethnicity, national origin, sex, pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, disability, age, genetic information, veteran status, marital status, and/or political affiliation.
