HR employee resources - PeopleAdmin Applicant Tracking - Supervisor/Chair - Recommending a candidate for hire
This article will provide a step-by-step guide for the Level 1 (supervisor or Search Chair) to initiate the recommendation to hire.
When a search committee has finalized its recommendations for hire, the Search Chair and the Supervisor will meet to discuss which candidate should be recommended for hire. While the actual conversation and deliberation may occur outside of the PeopleAdmin system, it is required that the final result be recorded and approved using the PeopleAdmin process for recommending a candidate for hire and then ultimately completing the hiring details, which will be used to produce the appointment document.
Use the following guide to initiate a recommendation to hire.
