External hiring

Do you have a temporary assignment for which no internal employee is available and you do not want to hire a new employee? In that case, hiring contractors may be a suitable solution. The hiring desk will be happy to help you.

When does external hiring apply?

Not every contractor is considered external hiring. It could also be a purchasing assignment, a temporary worker or a guest lecturer, for example.  

For requests for external hiring, such as self-employed professionals or secondment, from scale 10 onwards, the central hiring desk is the designated point of contact. This applies to both new assignments and renewals. 

The services provided by the hiring desk apply to all faculties and units that fall under Radboud University by statute and that are considering or carrying out external hiring. It covers the external hiring of self-employed professionals and secondments from scale 10 up. Procurement contracts, contracts subject to the reporting obligation (formerly: IB47), temporary agency work, and campus secondments fall outside the scope of this guideline. If you are considering external hiring within this domain, always consult your HR advisor.

Always use the decision tree first. This will ensure that you follow the correct process. You will find the decision tree on this page in the step-by-step plan, in step 1.
