Position Authorization and Recruitment Form (PARF)

Before a position can be filled, the hiring department must obtain approval to recruit utilizing this form. The form requires information on the hours and days of work, employment status, location of the position, a statement of minimum qualifications (including those qualifications that are desired but not required) and budget requirements. Because this information is used to advertise and screen applicants for the position, approval is given by the Staff Employment Office to verify that only job-related, objective requirements have been stipulated for the position. The department should indicate whether this opening is a new position or the replacement of a terminating employee. The budget portion of the form should also be completed in conjunction with the Budget Office to guarantee that adequate funding is available. In order for the position to be posted on the weekly Job List, updated each Wednesday, the Position Authorization and Recruitment Form (PARF) must be received and approved by the Staff Employment Office and approved through the Budget Office before noon on Tuesday. The Position Authorization and Recruitment Form is available online.

In the event of a hiring freeze, each department must provide a written justification for the need to fill a position to their cognizant vice president, who will submit the request for an exception to the president.
