Employment & Recruiting Services
Cornell College seeks to hire the best candidate for each job opening, always keeping in mind affirmative action and employment law. The hiring manager works with Human Resources to request a replacement or new position. New positions must be approved through the President's Council. Once a position is approved, internal job postings and external advertising are coordinated through the Human Resources. Resumes and applications are processed and provided to the hiring manager. The hiring manager and/or search committee will recommend to Human Resources, their desired candidate. Salary offers are the joint responsibility of the hiring manager and Human Resources (in conjunction with the division vice president). Job offer letters are completed by Human Resources.
