Job Applications

An applicant is defined as an individual who applies for a specific position at NYU.

Job application retention:

1. While the U.S. Department of Labor's Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) requires retention of applications for two years, the University requires a minimum of three years.

2. All electronic applications are maintained in PeopleAdmin. Employment will retain them for a minimum of three years.

Completing job application prior to hire:

It is University policy that the applicant must sign a completed job application. An application is considered complete only if there is a full response in all required fields.

If you have any questions about the procedures outlined above, please contact the Director of Talent Management.
