New recruitment system coming this summer

Posting and applying for UVic jobs will soon be quicker and easier. A new online recruitment system will be available for staff job postings beginning this summer. Job seekers will be able to apply for jobs, save resum&e#180;s and track the status of their applications anywhere, anytime and from any device.

"This online system is going to streamline the recruiting, hiring and application processes," says AVP Human Resources Kane Kilbey. "Hiring managers and search committee members will be able to manage information about their competitions anywhere, anytime. They will also be able to 'onboard' employees with orientation information even before their first day of work."

In Phase 1 of the project, the system will be available for CUPE 917, CUPE 951, Exempt Support Staff, Management Excluded and PEA positions. In Phase 2, it will be expanded to include other employee groups, such as faculty and librarians.

In order to ensure a successful transition to the new system, resum&e#180; and job posting information will remain accessible from the uHire database for a limited period of time. Staff and faculty are encouraged to save any resum&e#180; or job posting information stored in uHire as soon as possible. Visit http://www.uvic.ca/hr/careers/home/apply/index.phpto log in.

Training sessions on the new recruitment system will be offered for hiring managers and job seekers over the summer- watch www.uvic.ca/hr/careers/index.php for details.
