As a public institution of the State of North Carolina, North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University is committed to supporting and strengthening North Carolina's workforce. Consistent with this commitment, the University maintains a strong preference for recruiting and employing individuals who reside in North Carolina across all employment categories, including permanent employees, temporary employees, student workers, and graduate assistants.
Because out-of-state employment arrangements can create additional administrative, tax, regulatory, and compliance obligations, departments are encouraged to prioritize candidates who reside in North Carolina or who demonstrate a clear commitment to relocating to the state when appropriate. Careful consideration of these factors helps ensure responsible stewardship of University resources and operational efficiency.
Remote and flexible work arrangements remain management-approved options and are considered on a case-by-case basis in accordance with the State of North Carolina Telework Policy and the North Carolina A&T Telework Policy and Guidelines. These arrangements must support departmental business needs, maintain operational effectiveness, and align with applicable institutional and state requirements. Faculty and adjunct instructors are generally expected to provide instruction in person, consistent with guidance established by the Office of the Provost.
To support informed hiring decisions, the University's employment application and hiring proposal processes include mechanisms for identifying candidates who reside outside North Carolina and documenting their relocation intentions when applicable. In addition, North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University maintains established policies and procedures governing moving and relocation assistance for eligible Faculty, EHRA Non-Faculty, and select SHRA positions.
Departments and hiring managers are encouraged to review applicable policies and guidelines when considering remote work or out-of-state employment arrangements. Additional information is available through the Office of State Human Resources Teleworking Program Policy and the UNC Policy Manual Regulation on Flexible Work Arrangements and Remote Work.
By balancing workforce flexibility with sound operational, regulatory, and fiscal practices, North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University continues to support strategic talent recruitment while advancing its commitment to institutional excellence and service to the State of North Carolina.
A Waiver of Recruitment is a non-competitive hiring process that allows a department or hiring unit to identify and select a candidate for appointment without conducting a formal position posting and recruitment process. While the University recognizes that unique circumstances may occasionally warrant this approach, it remains the University's standard practice to conduct open and competitive recruitment to attract the broadest pool of qualified candidates from both within and outside the institution.
North Carolina A&T is committed to fair, equitable, and transparent hiring practices, and hiring units are strongly encouraged to fill positions through Open Recruitment, which supports equal access to employment opportunities and strengthens the University's ability to attract exceptional talent.
In limited and exceptional circumstances, a Waiver of Recruitment may be approved for career or contract appointments when a compelling business, operational, or strategic justification exists. Depending on the specific need and supporting rationale, appointments may be either temporary or ongoing in nature.
Because open recruitment is the preferred method for filling positions, the University intends to grant waivers only on an exceptional basis and only when the circumstances clearly demonstrate that a competitive recruitment process is not practical or would not best serve the University's interests. All waiver requests are subject to review and approval in accordance with University policies, procedures, and applicable employment regulations.
Through its careful oversight of recruitment waivers, North Carolina A&T seeks to balance organizational needs with its commitment to transparency, accountability, and excellence in talent acquisition.
