Draft a Job Posting

There are some instances where a Management and Professional Staff (MAPS) position may not need to be posted. Consult your HR Service Partner if the following three conditions are met:

• The position has been held by an incumbent in an acting capacity or on an interim basis for a period of time sufficient to determine their suitability for the role.
• The incumbent has already competed to join the university.
• Approval is given by the Appointing Officer (the most senior administrator for an academic or administrative unit).

Positions that do not need posting:

• Casual staff positions do not need to be posted (though we recommend posting).
• Excluded students positions do not need to be posted.
• Reappointments (extensions of existing roles) do not need to be posted.
• MAPS positions that have received approval by the AVP, HRHSE for an exclusion to post.
