Recruitment Advertising

The Office of Human Resources (OHR) requires that all active SHRA and EHRA Non-Faculty position openings be posted with the State’s minimum requirements and, as appropriate, any additional position requirements listed by the hiring department. OHR also publishes a job listing of open SHRA positions under active recruitment.

The SHRA Permanent Job Postings List serves as a recruitment tool and satisfies State and Federal recruitment requirements. It is published every Wednesday, and is posted at the Office of Human Resources, Administrative Office Building, 104 Airport Drive, Chapel Hill, NC. SHRA and EHRA-NF postings are updated nightly on the OHR website. The University’s Academic Personnel Office posts all Faculty openings with position details on-line.

Within OHR, Employment & Staffing collaborates with schools and departments regarding the utilization of Graystone Advertising in relation to the external placement of all SHRA and EHRA Non-Faculty permanent and temporary advertisements on behalf of UNC-Chapel Hill.

Upon request from schools or departments, Graystone Advertising also places external recruitment advertisements for Faculty employment opportunities. When advertisements for Faculty are to be placed in advertising venues other than the University’s own website, the proposed advertisements must be attached to a copy of posting in PeopleAdmin.

Common advertising options for Faculty and EHRA Non-Faculty positions include national or regional professional journals and newspapers, letters/announcements to schools, The Chronicle of Higher Education, and Diverse Issues in Higher Education. In addition, the EOC Office has purchased a membership subscription to the National Minority Faculty ID Program.
Publication dates for national and professional journals will need to be considered to ensure the application deadline is 30 to 45 days after the print advertisement appears.

Careers at Carolina

All permanent positions are posted on the University’s website. Both internal and external applicants apply through the online application system.
  • External Advertising: To enhance and diversify the applicant pool it may be necessary to advertise beyond the University website. Advertising options include print ads, Internet postings, professional listservs, professional journals, and non-profit organizations. All advertising costs are the responsibility of the hiring department and should be requested through Graystone Advertising.
    • Postings are automatically advertised on the following websites: jobs.unc.edu, uncjobs.northcarolina.edu, localjobnetwork.com, insidehighered.com, indeed.com, and nccommerce.com.
    • Departments may elect to post their jobs on hercjobs.org (Higher Education Recruitment Consortium) by selecting this option through PeopleAdmin.
  • Diversity: The University recognizes the value of a diverse workforce. The University encourages placement of recruitment advertising in publications with a focus on diversity. OHR provides local organizations with university job information and networks with various on-campus organizations and off-campus community groups and civic organizations to promote diversity in University employment.
Employment & Staffing has negotiated contracts with top media outlets that give the University access to deeply discounted recruitment advertisement rates. Any UNC-Chapel Hill hiring department can have access to these reduced rates by placing an ad through Graystone Advertising. Rates for all other advertising options vary depending on the media outlet.
At no cost to the department, HERC and Inside Higher Ed are integrated with PeopleAdmin and departments are able to select which categories are relevant to their job postings. There are no additional fees for a standard advertisement.
