New resources available for setting, applying minimum hiring qualifications

Reflecting Kansas State University's commitment to maintaining consistent and transparent hiring practices, the university has developed new resources to help hiring managers understand and apply minimum qualifications when creating position descriptions, advertising jobs and screening candidates.

The resources are designed to clarify how to interpret minimum qualifications in the staff job structure, apply education and experience equivalencies, and determine when it is appropriate to include specific areas of experience related to the role's core responsibilities. Guidance is also provided on crafting effective job advertisements and evaluating candidate qualifications in a fair and consistent manner.

All hiring managers are encouraged to review these materials and use them as a reference throughout both the position description and recruitment processes. Questions can be directed to your department's HR manager or liaison.
