Task 1: Workday Search Committee Access
- The department has the ability to create and modify a Search Committee in Workday which provides committees access to the job requisition. Please see your recruiter for the Search Committee Job Aid.
- Alternatively, human resources can create the Search Committee in Workday, please use the Search Committee Management Form to submit a request.
Note: Your submission request will be processed within two-three business days. A confirmation email will be sent once the search committee has been successfully created.
Academic and Administrative Recruitments - We encourage you to have at least three members on your search committee, and the composition of the search committee can be appointed by the hiring manager or search chair, unless otherwise defined in your department’s bylaws.
The Academic Faculty Search Chair Check List has been developed for academic faculty searches and is intended to be used after the appropriate administrative channels have approved the position and a search committee has been identified by unit faculty.
Classified search only – A formal search committee is not required. The search committee is permitted to consist of a hiring manager alone or you can have other members to assist with the search. If you are not utilizing a search committee you may skip these steps and review candidates in Workday.
