New Accounts

Central Office Staff & Certified Hiring Managers (CHM):  Recruitment Management System (RMS) accounts are distributed by the System Administrator via phone once required user type training has been completed.

Search Committees:  A unique RMS Guest User account is system-generated once the recruitment is posted.  Guest user access allows the hiring manager and search committee members to view recruitment specific information including applicant materials.  Guest user account information is provided by the HR Service Team Representative via phone after the initial review date (IRD) of the recruitment has past.

Jobseekers: Go to http://jobs.ucsc.edu to establish an account, create and store an employment application and apply for jobs.
