Hiring Process Guide

1. The Hiring Manager should reach out to their Recruiting Consultant to initiate the process.
2. The Recruiting Consultant will collect the necessary information to start the process. You will need to, at this time, also provide the Recruiting Consultant with the names of all committee members. (With Careers, there is no "search chair" designation. Everyone will be listed as a committee member on the job posting.)

1. For staff positions over $40,000, you will have to complete the Critical Hire Justification Narrative and submit to Classification and Compensation. Classification and Compensation will submit for approval to the system office. Once they receive notification from the system office, the Hiring Manager will be notified and the Recruiting Consultant will move forward with posting the position.
2. If the staff position is under $40,000, it will have to go through the internal critical hire process. Classification and Compensation will submit for approvals internally. Once they receive notification that the Critical Hire Form has been approved the Hiring Manager will be notified and the Recruiting Consultant will move forward with posting the position.  
3. All faculty positions over $40,000 must go through the internal Critical Hire Process. Department Head and above positions must be approved by the System Office. Faculty Critical Hire Justification Narratives should be sent to Lisa M Howard in HR.
