Advertising over Christmas and the New Year

For a number of reasons it is not advisable to advertise vacancies over the Christmas and New Year period: candidates are less likely to be looking at and applying for vacancies during this time; advertising deadlines are subject to longer lead in times; and the University closure days/ bank holidays mean that we are not staffed for dealing with enquiries and applications over the period.

Wherever possible, it is therefore advisable to put advertising on hold until the New Year. If this is not possible then please note the following:

• Any vacancies that needs to appear in external media and/or on the University web site in the week commencing 12^th December must have a closing date of 5^th January or later.
• Vacancies will not be placed in external media and/or on the University web site during the week commencing 19^th December.
• No closing dates will be set for the period 22^nd December through to 4th January inclusive.
• Any vacancies to appear in external media and/or on the University web site in the week commencing 2nd January should be submitted to Human Resources by Wednesday, 14^th December at the latest (and may be subject to longer lead-in times for some media titles).
• Any requests for exceptions to the above should be discussed in advance with Eddie Procter, Resourcing Manager, telephone 0117 92 88586. If agreed, exceptions may be subject to an earlier than normal deadline for submission.
