Campus-Only Recruitment Overview

Campus-Only Recruitment is a competitive process that normally utilizes a search committee to screen, interview and identify a candidate for hire. Advertising and outreach are limited to the UCSC community.

Only current UCSC employees (student, staff or academic) with an active appointment in the payroll system and individuals with preferential rehire or special selection rights are eligible for consideration.

Campus-Only Recruitment may be used to fill positions if the classification is pre-approved for campus-only recruitments.

A Certified Hiring Manager (CHM) interacts directly with the Recruitment Management System (RMS) to initiate requests, status applications and begin the job offer process. A Hiring Manager (HM) works through their Human Resources Service Team Representative (HRSTR) to accomplish these activities. A Hiring Manager who is interested in becoming a Certified Hiring Manager should contact the RMS System Administrator for information on the process.

Process Overview:

  1. The Hiring Manager (HM) initiates a recruitment request, using an RMS Recruitment Worksheet; the Certified Hiring Manager (CHM) initiates a recruitment request in RMS:

    1. The HR Service Team Representative (HRSTR) reviews the request.
    2. The Recruitment Specialist (RS) reviews the request.
    3. The Divisional Approver (DA) approves the position.
    4. The Classification Analyst (CA) classifies the position.

  2. The RS posts and advertises the job.

  3. The RS verifies eligibility of applicants for campus-only recruitment before releasing applications.

  4. The HRSTR notifies the HM when applications are available for viewing; the CHM receives an e-mail notification from the RS:

    1. Initial batch - RS releases applications within one business day after the initial review date (IRD).
    2. Subsequent batch(es) - RS releases additional applications within one business day after receipt of request.

  5. The Search Committee selects interviewees and conducts interviews after screening application materials.

  6. The HM/CHM conducts reference checks and makes a hiring decision.

  7. The RS makes a formal job offer to the selected candidate.

  8. Employment conducts a sign up if the selected candidate is a new hire or rehire.

  9. HRSTR conducts on-boarding of the selected candidate.

Pros Cons
  • Allows all campus employees access to a promotional opportunity
  • Provides an opportunity to hire most qualified internal applicant
  • Reduces perceptions of inequity or unfairness that can result from reorganizations or non-recruitments
  • Limits pool of applicants to UCSC employees – this impacts the diversity of the pool of applicants
  • Does not allow other qualified applicants to apply
