Recruitment of researchers and technical and administrative staff (TA)
Support for managers
This page provides support and information on the recruitment process for researchers and technical and administrative staff (TA), who are appointed in accordance with the Swedish Employment Protection Act (LAS).
Recruiting new employees is a strategically important decision and often a major investment for the organization. A well-executed recruitment process increases the chances of a successful recruitment and minimizes the risks of mis recruitment.
A position as a technical or administrative employee (TA) mainly involves supporting the organisation in technical or administrative tasks, while a researcher mainly supports the organisation with research-related tasks. What these positions have in common is that they are regulated under the Employment Protection Act (LAS).
At Lund University, the competency-based recruitment method is used throughout the recruitment process. The method is used to clearly define what competences and skills are needed for a particular position and to find out which candidate best matches these skills and competences.
