Hiring and Staffing

Recruiting, hiring and developing talented staff is one of your most important responsibilities.

University Human Resources and your HR Business Partner can help ensure your hiring decisions follow Brown policy and reflect fair, compliant selection practices.

From initial planning through a successful onboarding experience, this guide supports managers at every stage of the hiring process. It provides a strategic foundation for attracting, selecting, and retaining talented individuals who will contribute to, and thrive within, Brown's mission and community.
Brown University offers two options for hiring temporary employees: nextSource and Seasonal/Intermittent.

Hiring Students

Student Employment is an integral part of our campus community that benefits both students and departments. Student jobs exist in both academic and administrative departments and consist of a wide range of opportunities - some requiring basic skills, while others call for more extensive knowledge or experience in a particular area.
Consistent with its mission, Brown offers its undergraduate students a diversity of opportunities for leadership, teaching, research, volunteer work, and other employment to enhance the student experience in the classroom.
