            The Hire In order to comply with Federal regulations and to monitor progress toward affirmative action goals, each department is required to document all recruitment activities. Recruitment Closure Once the job offer has been extended and accepted by the candidate, the hiring supervisor must complete the Post Offer Form on line and submit it back to the CSR or Staffing & Compensation Analyst in Human Resources. In addition, all Candidate Disposition forms need to be submitted on line to reflect the entire candidate pool. It is the responsibility of the hiring supervisor to notify other finalists of the outcome. Recruitment Files  Departments are required to maintain all recruitment files, which include all resumes of applicant's referred and appropriate forms. This information must be maintained for a minimum of three years Background Checks Positions that have been designated as "critical" require that the candidate be fingerprinted and a background check conducted. For further information, please contact the campus Police Department.

Personnel Files

         The proper handling of personnel records or personnel files in departments often raises questions. The campus keeps only personnel records that are relevant and necessary to the administration of personnel programs. These records should be maintained with accuracy, relevance, timeliness, and completeness, and appropriate and reasonable safeguards should be established to ensure security and confidentiality. Properly keeping personnel records matters because if you don't, the result can be a loss of privacy for the employee and a grievance or lawsuit for the University.
