Most open staff positions are posted on the Human Resources web page and may be advertised in the Kalamazoo community. Current staff members who are interested in new employment opportunities and whose qualifications meet the requirements of the job are encouraged to apply. In filling these open positions, the qualifications of internal applicants (current staff members) are considered along with those of applicants from outside the College.

In some instances where a job opening provides a promotional opportunity within the department, the placement decision may be made without posting the opening. This type of placement is based on experience, skill and personal achievement on the job.
