Planning is the key to a successful search.

Once planning is complete and decisions are made, document the decisions through the ISU Classification and Hiring System.

HRS/EOD will review and notify when the vacancy is posted on the Employment Opportunities at Iowa State University website.

Screening, Interviewing and Selection

When the vacancy is posted on the Employment Opportunities website, applicants will apply on line. Supervisors, as well as Departmental and College reviewers, will be able to view the application materials through the ISU Classification and Hiring System. On that site, will be other resources to assist with the Screening, Interviewing and Selection processes.

New Employee Start Up

Once the selection process is completed and approved, the department should take steps to offer and confirm the hire. This will initiate processes that will make resources available to the new employee and the supervisor and department.
