My position requisition has been approved by SLT. What should I do next?

  • Forward your job posting and requested advertising sites to Human Resources who will create your posting via our online applicant tracking system. Posting will be reviewed by EDI prior to posting.
  • Candidates will be required to create a profile and submit resumes, cover letters, and other application materials via this website.
  • Hiring managers should choose search committee members, and provide names to HR. All indviduals will be given access to view applicant materials.Your committee should include a Steward of Diversity who will be assigned by Human Resources.
  • Ads will be placed by Human Resources.
  • Candidates will receive acknowledgement emails when they apply online

 

Our committee has selected candidates to interview. Is there a process we should follow?

  • You will be responsible to make all arrangements for the interviews on campus. Please include time for each candidate to interview with an HR representative. Since Human Resources has the responsibility for the recruiting budget, arrangements for interviews should be discussed with the Director of Human Resources (or in the case of Faculty positions, the Provost) prior to inviting candidates to campus.
  • Billing statements and on-campus charges should be directed to the Office of Human Resources. Here and below are links to the Guidelines for Recruiting Expenses incurred during the interview process, along with a link to the Reimbursement for Meals During Interviews form. If there is a question about transportation costs, etc., or if there is a legitimate reason that expenses may exceed the guidelines, please discuss it with the Director of Human Resources prior to the campus visit. 
  • Once a candidate has accepted an offer, Human Resources will close the job and the other candidates will automatically receive emails notifying them that the job has been filled.
  • In order to clarify the process, we have also included links below to Checklists For Hiring indicating your responsibilities

 

The successful candidate has accepted our offer. Now what happens? 

  • Once a candidate has accepted an offer, Human Resources will close the job and the other candidates will receive emails notifying them that the job has been filled.
  • In order to clarify the process, we have also included links below to Checklists For Hiring indicating your responsibilities.
  • Hiring Manager completes the online Authorization for Letter of Employment and submits to the VP/President for signature.  Once approved, the VP/President will forward to either Karla Wiser (if the position is grant-funded) or to Human Resources.
  • Once HR receives and approves the authorization, a Letter of Employment will be prepared. The Letter of Employment will not be prepared until the Background Verification Process is complete. 
  • For planning purposes, please note that the official date of hire provided on the authorization should allow for receipt of Background Verification results (usually 2-3 weeks), and mailing of the Letter of Employment. 

If you have questions at any time during the process, please call extension 3195 or email hr@juniata.edu.
