Consult with Human Resources (HR) before hiring a temporary to determine posting and advertising requirements.

The basic definition of a non-faculty temporary position is one that has an end date. A Temporary Pool of applicants is maintained in HR. Usually, positions that are temporary are not required to have postings internally or externally. Positions that would lead to significant opportunities, such as offering benefits, lasting nine months or longer, or having the possibility of becoming regular should be posted.
