Recruitment Process Resources

The recruitment process represents a significant investment and has many stakeholders.  Hiring managers have a major role throughout all stages of the process.  There are a number of tasks associated with recruitment, as well as important decisions.  Here we provide resources to assist you in the tasks of recruitment and the policies and best practices that support your decisions.

Policies and Guidelines Heading

To begin, we recommend that you review the Key Recruitment Policies & Guidelines document.

Onboarding Guide for Hiring Managers

Key Recruitment Policies & Guidelines (pdf)

We have also developed a recruitment checklist, which outlines the tasks that are the hiring manager’s responsibility in each job opening.  If a task is not listed here, you can expect that Human Resources (HR) will take care of it.

Recruitment Strategy Planning

Recruitment  Strategy Planning ensures that your recruitment process is timely and efficient.  Although many hiring managers are concerned that planning will cause undesirable delays, we find that failure to plan often results in errors, miscommunication and lost time.  We strongly recommend that hiring managers take the time to review the job requirements and position details BEFORE submitting a request to recruit.  If changes are needed or if you anticipate that you will have a small pool of qualified applicants, reach out to your Recruiter for a quick planning discussion.

Use the Recruitment Strategy Planning Worksheet to expedite your review.

Creating a Job Opening Heading

Our online posting and application system is designed to give hiring managers significant access to their job openings during the entire recruitment process, beginning with initiating the job opening.  Anyone who has hiring manager access in VTHR  will have access in the NEW SuccessFactors Recruiting and may create a job opening and submit it for approval.

Please refer to the user guide for SuccessFactors Recruiting, page 10.

Once the hiring manager submits the job opening, depending on your business process, the appointing authority will either be notified through email if you have obtained approval prior to creating the requisition, or it will go to them to approve within the system if required.

Once the Appointing Authority approves the recruitment, the remaining steps to complete and post the job opening are completed by HR.  You will receive a system-generated email notifying you when HR completes the final approval step and the job opening is posted on the Careers website.

Hiring Managers have access to view incoming applications during the posting period, but take no further actions in the job opening until the application deadline has been reached and HR provides a candidate list.
