Recruitment Compliance
Appointment: Recruitment compliance is always required for an appointment. Enter the number of the approved search or waiver along with the approval date, or the exemption category which applies to the position.
Reappointment: Use the search number from the previous appointment when that individual was previously recruited for the same position, provided that no more than two years have elapsed since the last period of service in that position. If there has been a two year break in service in the position, you will need to run a new open recruitment, or justify a waiver of recruitment. If the individual was appointed via a waiver of recruitment it will be necessary to run an open recruitment or justify a new waiver in order to reappoint. If the individual was appointed via an exemption, any reappointment will require an open recruitment or an approved waiver unless the circumstances justifying the exemption continue to apply. See CAPM 100.500.e.4.

Solicited Confidential Letters and Related Documents
Confidential documents included in files are almost always solicited letters. Letters may be solicited from external reviewers or from internal reviewers (generally service letters). If student letters are solicited, a representative sample of names from the course list must be used. See CAPM 410.220 5.i.
When solicited letters are included in the file, the following information must also be included:
- Sample copy of solicitation letter
- List of names of those who might not objectively evaluate the Candidate and explanation (provided at candidates’ option)
- List of all persons from whom letters were sought. Identify those suggested by the Candidate; identify letter-writers with alpha code.
- Any declining letters must be included
- Any lists of suggested reviewers provided by the Candidate must be included
- Brief comments on academic standing of each letter writer and relationship, if any, to the Candidate
- Copies of Redacted Confidential Documents
Unsolicited Letters
- In DivData Review, an unsolicited letter that is to be treated as confidential should be uploaded as the document type “Unsolicited Letters (Confidential) and provided to the candidate as a document type “Redacted Confidential Letters.”
- Unsolicited letters which are treated as non-confidential should be uploaded as document type “Non Confidential Document.”
