2 Welcome to the Seattle University Faculty & Staff Recruiting System. The Human Resources department has implemented this system in order to automate many of the paper-driven aspects of the recruitment and employment process.

3 You Will Learn How To Create and submit requests to HR for staff recruitment, temporary positions and supplemental pay (PAGE 11) Create or update job descriptions (PAGE 10) View applications on your postings (PAGE 21) Notify HR of your decisions regarding the status of recruitment (PAGE 5) The system is designed to benefit you by facilitating: Faster processing of employment information Up-to-date access to information regarding all of your Personnel Requisitions The HR department has provided these training materials to assist with your understanding and use of this system. Other recruitment resources are available on the last page of the guide or on the Supervisor s Toolkit on HR s homepage:

4 The Basics All staff recruiting is managed in our online applicant tracking system; SU does not accept application materials via or hard copy. The hiring manger link to the online system is: All positions are advertised on the SU website and general sites such as Indeed. If your position requires additional national or profession-specific advertising, contact Isa Chong, Recruiter to complete your advertising plan. HR pays the cost of additional advertising. The hiring steps on the next page are not absolutes. If you would like to alter your recruiting plan, contact the recruiter to construct a plan that best fits your needs.

5 Recommended Hiring Steps 1) Position is posted online for a minimum of 7 days. 2) Telephone screens are conducted for 5-7 top candidates. 3) On-campus interviews are scheduled for 2-4 top candidates. The recruiter is available to schedule time for final candidates to learn about SU benefits. 4) Background check, reference checks (supervisory) and software assessments (Administrative only) are conducted for the final candidate(s). Contact Recruiter to send background check and assessments prior to making an offer. 5) Hiring managers should review staff pay guidelines: If there are questions regarding salary offers or a range recommendation is needed, contact the recruiter. 6) The hiring manager makes an employment offer, sends an offer letter and then contacts interviewed candidates after an acceptance is received. 7) The hiring manager informs the Recruiter of the acceptance-salary, start date and those they have contacted. Recruiter will fill the position and notify applicants that were not selected for an interview. 8) In order to allow sufficient time to create an address and other new employee permissions, new employees begin work no sooner than 3 days after an offer is accepted and recruiter is notified. 9) Hiring manager should review the Onboarding Checklist (last page of guide).

6 Applicant Tracking System You may view and print application materials from the system. You may screen and rank candidates as you receive applications. This is a useful feature, especially when you are asking a committee to view applications and your candidate pool is large. You may request guest user access for others to review application materials. Let HR know you would like this function enabled when you open your position.
