To hire administrative staff – Officers, Union, and NUSS - in the Arts and Sciences please submit all hiring requests through our new Google form located here: https://forms.gle/yzEir5rnKQ8yNSFc7

As you look through the form, you’ll notice that there are some documents that need to be uploaded as part of the request.  They include: 

  • Position Rationale: A short narrative (a paragraph or two will usually be sufficient; 1 page max) describing why the position is needed and the business rationale for it. Please make sure to describe the consequences to the unit of not filling the position.
  • Proposed Funding Source(s) for position: Please provide comprehensive funding details, including a chartstring(s) or combocode(s). A template is here for your use.
  • Job Description: Include a draft job description for the proposed position (an template can be found here). If you are thinking about changing an existing job description, we are asking for the original job description as well as a rough draft of the new one (just do your best and don’t worry about the exact language). As part of the process, we will work with you to finalize the job description to make it ready for submission into Talentlink. 
  • Updated Organizational Chart: We would like to see an organizational chart that accurately represents the current structure and one that shows us any changes you are proposing. This may mean uploading two versions for review. 

If your department is looking to hire a temporary employee, please get in touch with Arya Tashahood to initiate the process and assist with sourcing candidates.
