Guide for Hiring Adjuncts

An Adjunct Job Announcement form is completed by the hiring manager and forwarded to the proper channels for signature approvals.

The Adjunct Job Announcement form is forwarded to Employment Services and Operations (ESO) once signed by the chair, dean and VPAA. ESO creates a Position Requisition in the PeopleAdmin Applicant Tracking System.
-
The hiring manager will receive an automated notification that the Position Requisition has been created and is ready for review.

Applicants begin applying online at the Job Seekers web site (refer to the Employment web page links).

- To be considered for an interview, the applicant's file must include the following:
- A copy of the candidate's online application, cover letter and vitae;
- three current letters of recommendation and/or documentation of telephone conversations with references, if requested and;
- official transcripts/certificates, or telephone verification of degrees.
-
After all interviews are completed, interviewers contact the hiring manager with their comments.
-
The hiring manager, after discussion with and concurrence of the appropriate administrative officer, will decide upon the primary candidate. Once the primary candidate is identified, the dean, in consultation with the Provost, will authorize the chair to extend the offer.
-
If the position is classified as security sensitive, a background investigation is requested on the final candidate before a formal offer is made. The applicant fills out the Security Sensitive Position Questionnaire, which is forwarded to ESO to process. Upon completing the Security Sensitive Position Questionnaire, the applicant will be provided with a copy of A Summary of Your Rights Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

ESO will notify the hiring manager of the result of the criminal background investigation, once received. If the results reflect positive criminal history, the VPESO will evaluate the results against job-related criteria and will make a recommendation as to whether the applicant is “employable” or “not recommended for employment.” If the applicant is “not recommended for employment,” the VPESO will issue a report to the hiring authority, who may accept the recommendation and reject the employment of the applicant, or may request permission to hire through the Provost and VPESO.
-
When the formal offer has been accepted, the appointment documents are prepared and forwarded to the Provost for approval. The appointment documents are:
Offer letter
Personnel Action Request (PAR)
