Click on Human Resources Systems and go to "Recruiting". There are four required courses before a Hiring Manager can access Recruiting Solutions to post a job opening: • • • • Welcome to Recruiting Course Post and Recruit for Hiring Managers and Recruiters Screen and Select for Hiring Managers Offer, Accept, and Prepare for Hire for Hiring Managers If you need Recruiting Solutions (PeopleSoft 9.2) access: Please complete an Access Request Form (ARF) using the HRMS 9.2 attachment. http://www1.umn.edu/datasec/security/RequestingaccessPDF.html To request DUO log-in: http://it.umn.edu/duo-enrollment-instructions RELATED WEBPAGES: The following webpages also include important information as you move through the search process – pages will be updates as more is learned about Recruiting Solutions: Office of Human Resources Recruiting and Hiring Toolkit: http://www1.umn.edu/ohr/toolkit/hiring/index.html College of Liberal Arts Human Resources: http://intranet.cla.umn.edu/hr/ College of Liberal Arts Faculty Recruiting: http://intranet.cla.umn.edu/faculty/FacultyRecruitment.php Upgrade Education Training and Job Aids: http://upgrade.umn.edu/training/upgradeeducation.html 2 last updated: April 24, 2015 CREATING A JOB DESCRIPTION AND REQUESTING A POSITION NUMBER: *There are now significant approvals required prior to posting a job opening – please plan ahead to allow sufficient time for these required approvals. The steps below apply to new or modified positions only. Existing positions needing no modifications can go straight to “Create a Job Opening”. 1. Contact CLA HR with any initial questions about your job posting • If you are re-filling a vacancy, do you have questions about the current job classification / job code? o Have any duties or tasks been removed, added, increased/decreased in scope, could be shared with another unit, etc. that you wish to partner with CLA HR and discuss before drafting a job description? o Is your unit / department discussing staffing structural changes? • If this is a brand new position (there is no prior job incumbent who is currently vacating the position), it is best to partner with CLA-HR to discuss the new position. We will work together to gain the appropriate approvals and examine the position responsibilities. • Are you questioning the continuing or temporary nature of the work? • Are there any funding questions that should be answered prior to posting this job? 2. All positions are required to go through OHR Compensation review at this point to determine appropriate classification BEFORE submitting a job opening. Use UM Form 1803 – Position Management Request Form to request this review. Please note that a position description is required piece of the form. Templates may be used for certain job classifications such as faculty and some undergraduate and graduate positions. 3. E-mail completed form to [email protected]. FLSA must be attached for positions - FLSA forms are still required for positions that have not gone through the job family study process (currently just Administrative and Research positions). *Compensation and Position Management approvals may take up to 5 business days* 4. Once you receive your approved position number, you are ready to create a job opening in Recruiting Solutions 3 last updated: April 24, 2015 CREATE A JOB OPENING: Job openings are created by hiring managers. Civil Service, Labor Represented, P&A and Faculty job openings require approval by CLA HR or Faculty (“Unit Recruiter”) and central OHR (“Central Recruiter”) before they can be posted. See page 10 for information on posting student positions. PREREQUISITES FOR CREATING A JOB OPENING Before creating a job opening, you must have: • Access to Recruiting Solutions at hiring manager (see page 2 for how to request access) • An approved position number. Position management information populates many fields used in creating a job opening. • An approved position description PROCESS 1. In the Quicklinks pagelet of the Recruiting Home, click <Create Job Opening>. • The Primary Job Opening Information page will display. 2. Select the Job Opening Type. • “Standard”: Standard job openings are created when there are a limited number of vacancies, the position is appropriately classified, and the anticipated hire date is known. • “Continuous”: Continuous job openings are created when you would like to have a pool of qualified candidates to draw from for future vacancies. Continuous job openings were previously known as “blanket postings” and, in CLA, are used to hire P&A Instructional and Term Faculty. • Refer to the “Standard vs. Continuous Job Posting Scenarios” resource found on the training webpage for further details. 3. In the Position Number field, enter the approved Position Number. Each potential hire level will need their own approved position number prior to posting.

Cloned job openings follow the same approval process as new job openings. A cloned job must use the same position number as the original job. If this isn’t the case, you must create a brand new job opening. Note: The process below describes how to clone a job that is still open to repost it. Toclone a job that has already been filled, search for job openings in a Status of “Filled,” select the job opening, and continue with step 3, below. 1. From the My Job Openings pagelet, click the title of the job to clone. 2. Cloning is one of the options on the menu bar at the top and bottom of the page. Click <Clone> to display the Clone Job Opening pagelet. 3. Click <Clone> to create a new job opening with a status of “Draft.” 4. Click the job number link under Job Opening ID to navigate to the job opening. • 5. The Job Opening page displays. The cloned job opening uses the same Position Number as the original, so, just like the original, much of the information is already populated and cannot be changed. On the Job Details tab, update the information that has changed. You may need to update Desired Start Date and Projected Fill Date. • Verify that other information on the Job Details tab is correct, such as the Additional Job Specifications section. 6. Click the Job Posting tab and verify that the posting information is correct. Make updates to the posting itself and to the Relative Open/Post Date and Remove Date/Duration fields, as needed. If significant changes are made to the posting, it may need to go through a new Compensation review. Click <Preview> to preview the posting. 7. Click the Hiring Team tab and verify that the members of the hiring team are identified correctly. Verify that your central recruiter is identified as the primary recruiter 8.
