An Overview of the Employment Process

Hiring for Full-time Permanent or Part-time Permanent Positions

The following steps need to be completed to ensure that the recruitment process works smoothly to get you the candidates you need and make certain that the University meets its affirmative action commitment:

Step 1: The HR Officer completes the Job Requisition form in MATCH. The Employment Office Specialist must approve the recruitment plan for the position, and the Specialist will request approval from the Office of EEO for grade 15 and above positions.

Step 2: The Employment Office contacts the unit once the Job Requisition is approved to discuss the vacancy, determine an appropriate recruitment strategy, the role of the Employment Office, and the role of the unit in reviewing applications and screening candidates.

Step 3:The job is posted on the Human Resources Web site and other recruitment begins (e.g. ads; see Recruiting and Advertising).

Step 4:The HR Officer and/or Employment Office Specialist screens and refers candidates or may help the hiring officer with resume review and screening (see The Screening, Interviewing, and Referral Process).

Step 5: Once the hiring department identifies its final candidate, it must obtain any necessary approvals prior to making the job offer (see Extending Job Offers).

Step 6: Official paperwork for hiring the employee is prepared by the HR Officer and submitted to the Employment Office for processing (see Onboarding the New Employee).
