Authorization to Recruit

Authorization is required to recruit for all regular new and replacement positions before beginning a search (see Vacancy Review Policy).

You can initiate your request to recruit by creating a job requisition in Workday.

If you wish to change the existing job description or position detail (for example, adjusting compensation bands), please contact your HR Business Partner BEFORE creating a requisition. They will update the position details and inform you when you can create the job requisition.

Hiring Managers will continue to utilize the search workbook (now referred to as the Search Worksheet) to organize their recruitment efforts.

Internal Announcement

All regular and term positions will be posted weekly. Current employees can view open positions by visiting the Jobs Hub app on their Workday menu.

External Announcement

To develop a broad and diverse applicant pool, most vacancies are advertised on campus and outside the college. Externally, vacancies will be posted on the Careers at Williams page. Human Resources collaborates with the hiring manager to determine the appropriate scope of the search, including developing and placing advertisements. Positions are also advertised on other websites, listserves, and local newspapers.

Depending upon the position, advertisements may also be placed in regional, national, and/or specific professional publications. Expanding the search to include professional organizations and networks focused on women and minorities is recommended. Advertisements will include a summary of the position’s responsibilities and the minimum education and experience requirements. Generally, a position is expected to be advertised for at least 30 days. The cost of advertising is covered by Human Resources.
