COMPLETING A DRAFT (UNFINISHED) REQUISITION
The job requisition is saved as a draft. You can find the position by searching for job requisitions with the status of draft on your dashboard.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
- The requisition approval process is launched.
- If approved, your recruiter will finalize the requisition and post.
- If the requisition is not approved, you can make the requested changes (or accept the changes made by the approvers) and then restart the requisition approval process.
STEP 2: INTERVIEW PROCESS
The following steps will outline how to schedule interviews, transition applicants, and download documents.
- Review Applicants and Determine Applicant Pool
- Change applicants' status as they go through the interview process
STEP 3: REFERENCE CHECKS
- Utilize the Telephone Reference Check Form.
- Complete 3 professional references and upload in the Documents tab in CHRS.

- You will need to upload documents (Preferably all references combined).
Put in the title as References.
- Follow the same to upload the following:
- Rating forms

- Justification for off-campus (if applicable).
- If the references are positive, on the “Applicants” screen, find your selected applicant
and click on the current status. Update the status to “References Successful – initiate
hire”. Do not change anything, simply click Move now. The Employment Specialist will automatically receive an email.
- If references are not positive, and the hiring manager will not be moving forward
with the candidate, you may select “Reference Check Unsuccessful – Email Now”. Candidate
will be emailed.
- If you have referenced more than one applicant (e.g., your top two), and both had
good references, but you are moving forward with one candidate; you may move the candidate
not selected to “Referenced, Not Selected – Email Now”.
At this point, your Employment Specialist will check the recruitment to ensure that all the following have been attached and completed correctly:
- 3 references

- Committee notes
- Justification for off-campus (if applicable).
If all documents are present and there are no questions or follow-up required, Human Resources will begin the contingent offer stage.
