The recruitment process has four distinct stages: pre-recruitment, recruitment launch, screening &amp; interviewing, and new hire selection and offer. Hiring departments are encouraged to connect with their <a href=\"http:\/\/wisconsin.edu\/uwsa\/hr\/hr-services-and-support\/#StrategicPartners\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HR Strategic Partner<\/a> early to ensure success in navigating this detailed process.<\/p>\n<p>In an effort to outline the process step-by-step and clarify the roles, UWSHR will meet with hiring managers to discuss the stages and answer questions as needed.<\/p>\n<h4>Pre-Recruitment Launch<\/h4>\n<p>There are several important factors to consider in this stage:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Are you filling an existing vacancy or developing a new position?<\/li>\n<li>What work will be performed by the person in this position?<\/li>\n<li>What systems, tools, or other resources will they require to perform the work?<\/li>\n<li>Does the position description and\/or the knowledge, skills, and abilities need revision?<\/li>\n<li>What is the source of funding? Do you have the required funds to fill on an ongoing basis?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Answers to these questions will not only help identify the type of candidates being sought, but will also inform the onboarding activities once the new employee starts.<\/p>\n<p>Hiring managers will also want to consider <strong>sourcing<\/strong>: where to advertise the position and for how long. The  information will be utilized to document the justification and get approval to recruit.<\/p>\n<p>Once you receive the approval to recruit, it is important that you connect with Capital Planning &amp; Budget to submit the <span class=\"doc-icon\"><a class=\"doc-type docx\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wisconsin.edu\/uwsa\/hr\/download\/onboarding\/Capital-Planning_Space-Request-Form.docx\" target=\"_blank\">Capital Planning Space Request Form<span class=\"sr-only\"> docx<\/span><\/a><\/span>\r\n to ensure the employee has the appropriate cube or office space by the position start date.<\/p>\n<h4>Recruitment Launch<\/h4>\n<p>The recruitment launch stage is when the position is being advertised and applicants are applying for the position. During this stage, hiring managers will want to schedule a consultation with their <a href=\"http:\/\/wisconsin.edu\/uwsa\/hr\/hr-services-and-support\/#StrategicPartners\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HR Strategic Partner<\/a> and appoint the Search and Screen Committee. The Search and Screen Committee will analyze the applicant pool and conduct phone interviews, if necessary, to develop the list of qualified candidates for the position. See additional information regarding <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wisconsin.edu\/uwsa\/hr\/hr-services-and-support\/talent-acquisition\/search-and-screen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Search and Screen Committee<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h4>Screening and Interviewing<\/h4>\n<p>The Search and Screen Committee will analyze the applicant pool and conduct phone interviews, if necessary, to develop the list of qualified candidates to recommend moving forward in the recruitment process. After the Search and Screen Committee has identified the qualified candidates to move forward, interviewing and additional screening begins. These steps will be discussed and planned by your HR Strategic Partner with the hiring manager.<\/p>\n<h4>New Hire Selection and Offer<\/h4>\n<p>A verbal offer may be extended contingent on the success completion of background and misconduct checks. An approval to hire must be routed to leadership and completed prior to a written offer being extended to a candidate. Once a written offer has been accepted by the selected candidate, the process enters the post-recruitment stage. In this stage, the hiring manager prepares for the new hire arrival by developing an Onboarding Plan and making appropriate arrangements to ensure a seamless entry into the organization.
