New Online Employment Application System
To the Campus Community,
Information Technology and Human Resources are pleased to announce
the arrival of a much anticipated Online Employment Application
System; the effective date of implementation will be Monday, July
6, 2009. This online system is a result of Information Technology's
commitment and dedication, in collaboration with Human Resources, to
further automate and streamline Salisbury University's search and
selection processes. The Online Employment Application System will give
both current employees and other (external) applicants the opportunity
to submit their employment application and related materials online
without having to fill out any paper forms or submit any paper copies of
resumes or other materials.
As of Monday, July 6, 2009, certain newly approved job openings
will be available to apply online. All applicants interested in applying
for these positions MUST apply online as indicated in the job
posting/advertisement and on the Salisbury University's Employment
Opportunities Web site page, go to
http://www.salisbury.edu/HR/Jobs/. Other newly approved and existing
job openings will not be available to apply online and Human
Resources will continue to accept paper applications/resumes for these
positions until the respective closing dates.
An Online Employment Application System Frequently Asked Questions
(OEAS FAQs) document has been created (attached document). These FAQs
will also be available on the Salisbury University Employment
Opportunities Web site page. The online version can be searched by
keyword. Question #2 describes how to access the online system.
Additional features of the online system which will greatly
benefit both applicants and search committee members:
* Once a Personal Profile has been created, the Profile is retained
on the applicant's record for future use or edits.
* Applicants retain view access to their submitted application and
related materials.
* An automatic generation of a confirmation E-mail to applicants,
acknowledging receipt of their employment application.
* The ability for HR to send an E-mail to a group of applicants
communicating the status of a search.
* Improved reporting capabilities (e.g., EEO statistical information,
reasons for declinations of job offers, recruitment sources with
greatest return).
During the initial implementation phase, search committees will
receive a printout of all applications and materials submitted, for use
during the screening and selection processes. Subsequent enhancements to
the online system are in development and will include:
- Search committee members and hiring manager's access to the
online system
- Enhancements of reporting capabilities
- Use of the "Screen and Select" feature to screen-out applicants
who do not meet the minimum qualifications
Information Technology and Human Resources want to thank all
employees who have been involved in this initial development and
implementation phase, either by participating in focus groups or the
testing of the system. Your time and efforts have been much appreciated
and have been of great value to our campus customers!
