The University of West Florida is committed to employing the best, qualified candidates while engaging in recruitment and selection practices that comply with all applicable employment laws. We are committed to providing equal opportunity and nondiscrimination towards applicants and employees as it pertains to race, color, religion, age, disability, gender, marital status, national origin, sexual orientation and veteran status, consistent with State and Federal law. University departments shall hire the most suitable individual for a position based upon position requirements, preferred qualifications, and needs of the department.

These processes are integral to building a capable and effective workforce, as they ensure that the right people with the necessary skills, qualifications, and attributes are brought on board to contribute to the university's goals.

Human Resources policy HR-20.03-02/25 details our hiring principles, vacant positions, appointment types, advertising position vacancies, application, selection, and appointment.

The hiring of the best, qualified candidate is a two-step process. The details of this process are outlined within the Recruitment and Selection pages of the HR website.

  • Recruitment is the process of attracting qualified candidates to apply for the job. This can be done through a variety of methods, such as job postings, online advertising, employee referrals, and networking.
  • Selection is the process of evaluating the candidates and choosing the best one for the job. This involves reviewing resumes, conducting interviews, and determining the individual who is the best fit for the position.
