Allowing Additional Contacts To Review Resumes

  • These steps can be completed individually or in batches to streamline tracking for the On-campus Employer
  • Visit the Candidate Tracking Instructions for guidance

2) Meet with Student & Make Job Offer

After interviewing and making a job offer to the student, the hiring manager should meet with the student to complete required hiring forms.

3) Hire Student Employee

Before a student can begin working, they must be hired into a job in PeopleSync, NYU's HR system. Follow the instructions below to initiate the hire.

Hiring Departments from Administrative Units or Steinhardt

Submit the Student Appointment form

  • This step must be complete before the student visits the Wasserman Center for I-9 verification.
  • The form will route to the Wasserman Center who will collect I-9 documentation from the student (if required) and then to PeopleLink for processing.
  • The hiring manager will receive an email notification when the job has been entered in PeopleSync.

Hiring Departments from Schools


Submit the student hire to your school HR department with the following information:

  • Copies of valid I-9 documentation (semi-monthly-paid students only)
  • Labor Law Form signed by hiring manager and student (hourly-paid students only)
  • Any forms required by your school
  • Your HR department will enter the student job in PeopleSync.
