SuccessFactors Recruiting: Academic Recruitment
The University has transitioned to a new job posting and application system: SuccessFactors Recruiting. Effective July 7, 2020, the new tool replaced Taleo as the University’s applicant tracking system.
Advantages of the New Tool
The new tool is simpler, cleaner, and offers significantly enhanced functionality including:
User friendly and intuitive: Enhanced user interface.
Systems integration: Each approved faculty search in a Faculty’s recruitment plan creates a requisition in the new Recruiting tool. See Faculty Recruitment: Integration of Recruitment Plans with HRIS & SuccessFactors Recruiting.
Automatic solicitation and collection of reference letters: See Automatic Solicitation and Collection of Reference Letters.
Ability to download all application materials in each pool easily to a secure OneDrive folder. See ASA: Application Download to OneDrive.
Links to all guides are available in the Resources section below.
