5 When a department has a requirement to recruit, the Recruiter will create an e-recruitment Job Requisition. While they are working on the Job Requisition it will be in Draft status. They will add you, as their departmental HR Assistants, to the Recruitment Group to allow you to view the Job Requisition and process the publication of the advertisement. The Recruiter will continue to liaise with Human Resources regarding the details of the Job Requisition, the correct grade based on the About The Job and the drafting of the advertisement, before and during the creation of the Job Requisition, as required. The Recruiter will complete the Job Requisition and then trigger the approval process. Once all of the Approvers have approved it, the status of the Job Requisition will change from Draft to Released, signaling that it is ready to be made available to applicants. At this point you and the Recruiter will receive and alert notifying you of the status change. You will create the Job Posting, which will contain the details of the advertisement, and then the Publication, which will allow you to select the group of applicants the vacancy is to be made available to e.g. all applicants, internal only, direct appointments and define the dates it will be published for. You should continue to check the About The Job and the Advert are appropriate and that the details are consistent with the information in the Job Requisition. Checking the About the Job and Advertisement Paperwork Before the About the Job and Advertisement paperwork are attached to the Job Requisition, the recruiting department should have discussed any queries regarding the grade with Human Resources. The importance of the recruiting department continuing to liaise with their departmental HR and Finance contacts has been stressed during the Job Requisition training sessions and materials. If errors or inappropriate grades etc are detected after the Job Requisition has been approved, resulting in changes being required to the information held in the Job Requisition, the approval process will need to be repeated. Summary: If the Job Requisition is approved at the incorrect grade, it will need to be edited and repeat the approval process before it can be posted. You can check the About the Job and Advert paperwork once you have been added to the Recruitment Group. You can advise the Recruiter if changes need to be made before the Job Requisition is Released for approval. You are able to make minor changes such as wording or layout to the attachments (e.g. About the Job, Advert etc) as well as changing the document into PDF format before posting the job without requiring the approval process to be repeated. 5

6 External Publications If a department would like a vacancy to be published in an external publication, e.g. The Star or New Scientist, the details along with funding code (if relevant) should be provided in the Note field on the Job Requisition. Once you have been added to the Recruitment Group you will be able to access the details from the Maintenance page. When you have identified the correct Job Requisition, if you click on the Job Title the overview box will appear and display see the details. e-recruitment will allow Recruiters to provide details of the requirement and the funding code but it is only used to publish the vacancy to the web. You are required to enter details regarding any external publications into the Job Posting, see page 8 Redeployment The Redeployment process has now been moved on-line within the e-recruitment system. Each Job Requisition will continue to be checked against the Redeployment Pool to see if there are any suitable candidates. If a match is identified you should follow the Redeployment procedure. Further details can be found in your Redeployment Training guide in uspace If the post isn t filled through redeployment, the HR Assistant will carry out the Job Posting and Publication, which will allow candidates to apply for the vacancy. If Redeployment is successful you should process the vacancy as a direct appointment, publishing it for the successful redeployee only, allowing them to enter a basic application. See page 21 Once the application is submitted the Recruiter can move directly to the Offer Phase activities. 6

21 How to advertise for a Direct Appointment If you need to advertise a position for an individual named on a grant, a successful Redeployee or for a single department only you will use the For Any Candidates (Not published channel) when creating the Publication. The Recruiter will still need to create a Job Requisition and attach all the Advert documentation. The Job Requisition will still need to be approved in line with the appropriate approval route. Once published via this channel it will not appear on the web pages. It will only be available to applicants with the unique advert reference number. 1. Create the Job Posting (see page 8) and then go to the Publication tab. 2. Click on Create The system will generate the individual Job Reference number that you will need to send to the applicant or recruiting department. 3.

Single Department/Pool of Candidates; the Recruiter the Job reference number, closing date and the correct link (see below). The Recruiter will their department or pool of candidates to advise them of the job details. The applicants will complete their application form fully.

23 How to action a re-advertisment If a department decides to re-advertise a Job Requisition you need to check when the original vacancy was advertised. If it was less than 6 months ago you are able to use the same Job Requisition. However if the Recruiting department want to make changes to the position you need to check with your HR Adviser if those changes require further approval. If they do the Recruiter should edit the Job Requisition to incorporate the changes and should then release it for approval again. If the Job is being re-advertised more that 6 months after the original was approved a new Job Requisition will need to be raised and approved before it can be advertised. If the recruiting department are using the same Job Requisition to process the re-advertisement please consider the following points: Any previous applicants must have been informed they were unsuccessful and must have also been set to rejected by the Recruiter. This will move the applicants from the In Process to the Rejected status. This is very important as it will mean that previous candidates are not visible on the Panel Member screen and will not get grouped with the new candidates applying for the job within the display candidates screen. None of the applicants that have already applied will be able to apply for the vacancy again. You must ensure that the Recruiting Department are aware and happy with this before the job is published. If the Recruiting department would like the option to allow candidates who have previously applied to submit an updated application you will need to advertise on a new Job Requisition. This will allow previous candidates to submit a new application. However, as long as the re-advertisement is within 6 months of the original being approved and there are no changes that affect the funding you will not have to send the Job Requisition round the approval route again. The Recruiter should copy the original Job Requisition and Business Solutions will set the status directly to released allowing you to publish it. 23

24 Creating a new Job Posting; This only needs to be actioned if there have been changes to the position that need to be reflected in the Advert text. To create a new Job Posting see page 8 Creating an Additional Publication; - If you have created a new Job Posting you will create the Publication from that Posting. - If you are using the same Job Posting you can edit the Job Posting and go directly to the Publications tab. You can then click Create to complete a new Publication. Please see below how to complete the Publication; The system will generate the individual Job Reference number that the applicant will see. 1. Select the appropriate Posting Channel: a. For Internal Candidates Only: This will make the vacancy available to University of Sheffield employees only, via their myjob accounts. b. For Any Candidates: This will make the vacancy available to all external and internal candidates. c. For Any Candidates (not published): This posting channel will be used for direct appointments e.g. a person is named on a research grant. 2. Input the publication Start Date This will generally be the date you are posting the job so it can be viewed immediately, however, it may also be a future date. 3.
