We market Penn as having a unique culture: a historical perspective tempered by a commitment to the future. Combine this with the advantages of an Ivy League University in a major city, and it becomes clear why Penn is a Best Employer. The Recruitment & Staffing mission is to get this message out to those who are unaware of Penn; through job fairs, internet sourcing, college contacts, and other technologies as they become available. We evaluate those who are already interested in Penn to send our Hiring Officers the best and the most qualified candidates the area has to offer.
