What is the UA Talent Network?is the UA Talent Network?
The University of Arizona is implementing a UA internal talent pool to support departments with short‐term staffing needs.

Currently the University temporary employment service includes five different job categories:
  1. Administrative/Professional
  2. Computer & Technology
  3. Research
  4. Adjunct Teaching/Instruction
  5. Trades & Maintenance

The non‐benefits eligible pool postings for these five categories are general in nature and should not be interpreted as advertisement for a specific position. Applications will be accessed by hiring departments when temporary staffing needs arise. The title and salary will be determined at the time a position is filled.

  1. Current, non‐exempt
    employees with less than 1.0 FTE who are available to work up to a 1.0 FTE and exempt employees available to work a maximum of 176 hours of supplemental compensation per fiscal year;
  2. Former employees with one year of UA work experience at .49 FTE or greater; and,
  3. UA retirees.

How is the process different from the regular application process?is the process for the UA Talent Network different from the regular application process?

  • Applicants are applying to be considered for potential job openings rather than applying for a specific job posting.
  • The postings are listed under a fictional department called “UA Talent Network,” rather than a specific UA department. Job titles begin with “UA Talent Network” to simplify search functionality.
  • Applicants are asked to submit an application form, resumé and a skills inventory form.
  • Hiring departments can use the skills inventory to identify applicants that meet selection criteria for their short term staffing needs.
