Hiring Incentive for WSU Faculty and Staff

Hiring Incentive Payment Program

To attract talent in a competitive job market, with approval from the Vice President and Chief Human Resource Officer (CHRO) for Human Resource Services, departments may offer a hiring incentive for civil service and administrative professional employees.

A hiring incentive payment provides a lump sum payment to support the recruitment of specific positions in hard-to-fill job classifications. Job postings on WSU Jobs indicate eligibility for a hiring incentive payment and are posted for broad visibility to potential applicants.
