UNM Human Resources launched the Staff Hiring Incentive Program (HIP) on Nov. 1, 2025, to help departments attract top talent for critical staff roles. This initiative strengthens UNM’s competitiveness and demonstrates its commitment to workforce stability and excellence.
The program enables hiring departments to offer and promote one-time incentive payments to help address recruitment challenges, reduce time-to-fill, and support operational continuity.
The incentives may be applied broadly to specific classifications within a department, school, or division — or narrowly to individual recruitments based on unique hiring needs. All incentive offers require approval before the related requisition is posted.
