Hiring managers, HR partners, and the Talent Acquisition team all work together during each step of the hiring process. All hiring managers, HR partners, and staff involved in the search and/or recruitment for a university administrative position should
familiarize themselves with the guidelines and templates provided. For an in-depth overview of the Search and Hiring process, please review Search and Hiring at The New School: A Guide to Search and Hiring Best Practices.
There are five steps to initiating and completing a successful recruitment cycle.
Position Approval
Ensure you have obtained appropriate departmental authorization, then submit Job Description and Recruitment Plan to Director of Talent Acquisition and Talent Manager.
Posting a Position
Once authorized by HR, the position can be posted via PeopleAdmin. Please consider external advertising venues.
The Search
Once the search committee is composed, the hiring manager will ensure the Charge is sent to all committee members including Director of Talent Acquisition via email
(prior to the onset of interviews). The Charge will outline and include all pertinent information regarding the search process as well as implicit bias training information.
Develop and utilize a core set of behavioral interview questions and rubric to be used consistently
for all interviews. Retain this information as HR will request during selection.
Review and consider all internal and external applicants. Ensure all candidates are "ranked/tiered" in PeopleAdmin as this will provide info for the EEO report.
Selection
Once a finalist is selected, the Search Committee Chair (if charged to do so) or Hiring Manager will notify the Director of Talent Acquisition and Talent Manager via email. Please include all rubrics and search
committee recommendations. HR will then review the EEO report. HR will notify the unit when the Hiring Proposal can be submitted via PeopleAdmin.
Making the Offer
Once the Hiring Proposal is approved the Hiring Manager extend a verbal offer to the finalist. The Hiring Manager will then notify HR if the offer has been accepted and HR will send the finalist
an offer letter within 24-48 hours. Onboarding in Myday will begin once the candidate returns the signed offer letter to HR.
