staff searches and staff direct hires
September 5, 2018
It has been the practice for some departments needing to hire staff (whether through a search or a direct hire) to contact the Shared Service Center directly. The staff-hiring process – including position descriptions and budget approvals – now flows through the Dean’s Office before being sent to the SSC. If you need to hire staff, please contact Amanda Burghart (amccoy@ku.edu); if the position needs to be filled quickly, please indicate that in your email to her.
