Campus Message sent in December

COMING SOON - An automated application system!

Human Resources is pleased to announce the February launch of UA Career Track, the University of Arizona's first on-line employment and applicant system.

We are contracting with PeopleAdmin, a company specializing in the development of applicant systems for higher education institutions, to provide an efficient and comprehensive on-line employment system. Some of the highlighted features of the system are listed below.

Departments will be able to ...

• Create a job requisition, post a position and arrange for advertising through a single on-line process.
• Obtain requisition approvals from department heads, deans, vice presidents and administrative units electronically - no more need to mail or walk documents across campus.
• Develop customized applicant questions to help develop better applicant pools.
• Access application materials immediately after the position close or review date.
• Assign on-line system access to off-site hiring authorities and search committee members to facilitate the review and selection process.
• Monitor the aggregate diversity of applicant pools
• Create a downloadable on-line hiring document for the selected candidate.

Applicants will be able to...

• Submit application materials on-line without mailing, faxing or submitting paper documents.
• Apply for an unlimited number of job vacancies without creating separate application materials for each job posting.
• Receive immediate confirmation that materials were received and processed.
• Track the status of the positions for which they have applied.

Beginning in February 2004, select departments will pilot the new system. Look for upcoming announcements regarding system demonstrations, department training and implementation process steps.
