Nepotism Question Added to Application

Earlier this year, Human Resources added a new nepotism question to application forms in the PageUp system.  Applicants are asked if they have any family members working at UMBC and, if so, to give the name and relationship information.  A reference to the USM policy on Employment of Members of the Same Family (Nepotism) and a list of definitions of “family member” is listed on the application for reference. 

This question should be reviewed by hiring managers during the screening stage, to verify that a supervisor/subordinate relationship will not be created.  Relationships that may cause an ethical concern regarding grants/sponsored awards should also be considered.  The USM nepotism policy applies to all UMBC faculty and staff.  Please contact Human Resources if you have any questions.

 

Reminder to Upload your Ad Copy if Placing Outside Recruitment Advertisements

If you intend to place outside ads for a search, please create the ad copy and upload it on the documents tab of the requisition.  Human Resources will review the ad, make any necessary changes and provide unique source identification links for you to include in your ad.  These links allow the departments to track the effectiveness of the source of these outside ads.  An ad copy is only needed for advertisements in sources other than the UMBC Jobs website, Higheredjobs and HERC.  A sample ad copy, along with directions, is now available on the requisition under the Documents and Advertising sections.
