Note: The following "Good to Know!" was published on March 13, 2017
In an effort to better serve our customers, we are announcing the following procedural changes regarding the Employment Process:
Immediate access to candidate pools
Effective Monday, March 13, 2017, there will no longer be a “review date” but rather a “close date” in PeopleAdmin, our applicant tracking system As a result, you will now have immediate access to the screened candidate pool (those who meet the stated minimum requirements) without having to wait for a “review date.” When a position is submitted to Employment, an Employment Specialist will consult with you to establish an appropriate “close date” (not to be fewer than 10 days from the posting date).
Daily screening of candidates
Once the position is posted, your designated Employment Specialist will screen applications at least twice daily and release screened candidates.
Daily review prior to close date
As the close date approaches, the Employment Specialist will discuss with you the viability of the candidate pool. A decision can then be made to either close the posting or extend the “close date” in order to receive additional applicants to be screened. Any extension will be no fewer than five days. As such, it is important that the hiring department reviews the candidate pool on a daily basis as new candidates may be released at any time.
We look forward to your thoughts and comments on these or other process improvements. As always, please contact your Human Resources Liaison or Human Resources at 844-4145 or univhr@auburn.edu.
