Opening a Position and Hiring New Staff

We seek to identify and select the best candidates in each field. Listed below are the steps in the recruitment process based on how the requisition will be created. For future assistance, contact your HR Partner or assigned Recruiter.

The 3 Cs to Successfully Completing the Requisition Process

Consult
● With your manager to obtain the initial approval to recruit. You would discuss the position title, compensation and overall justification for either backfilling or opening a new position.
● With your HR Partner about opening the requisition, market rates, and suitability of the position to best meet the departmental needs.
Connect
● With your Recruiter to support you through the process of posting the position, conducting interviews, and the post-interview stages.
Complete
● The position justification, job description, and addendum, and the job information questionnaire (JIQ) will need to be attached during the Workday input. For examples on how to complete the job description and addendum, please refer to the Job Aids in the Resources section on the right.
