Hiring Process

The best candidates are hard to find, hard to lock in and hard to keep. Nearly half of offer recipients are simultaneously considering two other offers, which means timing is critical. We strongly recommend all hiring managers follow this State of Indiana Hiring Process Timeline. Bookmark this page and refer to it whenever you’re starting the hiring process.
