Important Dates: HR Recruitment/Hiring

As we continue to prepare for our transition to Workday in January, below are key deadlines as they pertain to recruitment and hiring.  

  • Friday, Nov. 6 at 5pm – CFAES hiring request deadline   

  • All new hires with a start date of Nov. 15, 2020 through Jan. 8, 2021 must be requested by this date to ensure there are no delays.   

  • This will allow our college HR team enough time to process any future dated hires (generate offer letters, initiate background checks, etc.) by the university deadline.  

  • This deadline is applicable to all hires, including semester Lecturers and Graduate Associate appointments.  

  • Monday, Nov. 9 at 5pm – Final deadline to submit requests to college HR team to post positions to the OSU Jobs website (jobsatosu.com)   

  • Nov. 21 is the final posting date to the OSU jobs website   

  • New postings will not be permitted after Nov. 21

  • Recruitment efforts (i.e. screen applications, interviews, etc.) will be permitted throughout November and December as normal.  Note, start dates will be impacted.   

  • Sunday, Nov. 22 – Friday January 8 - Requests to post positions can be submitted during this time.  However, we will be unable to post any new positions until Saturday, January 9th.   

  • Saturday, Jan. 9, 2021 – First opportunity to post a position using Workday.  

  • As a reminder, the Hiring Pause remains in effect.  The college committee will continue to review exceptions requests as appropriate.
