Joining DMU
The Recruitment and Selection Policy helps recruiting managers ensure effective recruitment by providing guidance to help them attract and retain the most talented individuals.
Comprehensive guidance accompanies the policy. This with other resources, equips and empowers all DMU recruiters and maximises compliance with the policy.
This procedure applies to all staff who are serving a probationary period to ensure that during the early stages of a new employee’s appointment they are given a sufficient level of support and guidance to enable them to become an effective member of staff and for them to understand what is expected of them.
This policy is in place to alleviate the possible financial implications and personal disruption that relocation may cause where new members of staff may need to relocate in order to take up employment at DMU.
