Announcing Recruitment Process Updates

The Office of Human Resources and Workforce Diversity is excited to announce updates and improvements to the recruitment process in response to the Chancellor’s Mission Alignment exercise, as well as the anticipated implementation of Workday in July, 2025. The intent is to reduce the workload for recruitment chairs, panels, and committees, increase communication, and effectively collect required documentation throughout the process. Changes are summarized below:

  • Simplified recruitment checklists which provide best practices and helpful links for easy access.
  • Reduced the number of recruitment forms to avoid duplicative efforts.
  • Updated forms to provide more detailed instructions.
  • Developed two reference check survey options (one for faculty and instructional academic staff and one for all other employee classifications) which are currently in use and receiving very positive feedback.
  • Centralized compliance documentation initiation through HR (I-9, CBC, SHRC).
  • Updated offer letter language to ensure compliance.
  • Authorization to Extend Offer form has transitioned to BP Logix to allow for streamlined approval and documentation

The Recruitment Procedures and Recruitment Resources webpages have been updated with all of the revised forms. As recruitments are initiated, the HR Talent Team will hold recruitment process meetings with the chairs and their admin support to go through these changes. We are confident these improvements will streamline our recruitment process as we move forward and set us up well for the transition to Workday in July, 2025.
