OLD number 5217 
NEW number 5555

If the prospective emergency hire has previously held a staff/faculty appointment and an application is in their personnel file, they will not need to apply through Recruiting Solutions.

The Emergency Hire Pool is also utilized for applicants who seek employment for administrative and/or technical work on a short term temporary basis (Emergency Hire). When you need candidates referred from this pool, please create an Emergency Hire job opening in Recruiting Solutions and indicate that you would like applications forwarded to you from the Emergency Hire Pool or contact your campus HR Recruiter directly.

Background Check Requests Added to Chargeback Module

Effective July 1, 2016, “Background Check” has been added as a service provider to the chargeback module. Thanks to the dedication of our Finance partners, this method replaces the background check request form and the manual budget invoice/transfer process which had occurred at periodic intervals throughout the year. The chargeback process allows for more timely fund transfers to assist with your budgeting – providing cumulative totals for accurate encumbrances, as well as deliver the ability to input multiple background checks on one charge back and include attachments.

• For MPP and Staff:
Since the Background Check chargeback module is simply a budgetary transaction method, we will still need to maintain recruitment data through Recruiting Solutions. As such, information on the selected candidate, salary, start date, and request to initiate the background check for staff/management will still be handled through Recruiting Solutions; with the hiring department then submitting a chargeback request to address the budget transfers associated with the background check.

• For Faculty, Student Assistants and any other transactions not processed through Recruiting Solutions:
The Background Check chargeback module will completely replace the current request form. All requests for background checks and budgetary transfers will be submitted through the charge back module. Departments should continue the current procedures for these recruitments and candidates may not begin employment until the background check has cleared.

Results of all candidate’s clearance will continue to be provided to you via email as soon as it is received.
