Hiring Process Workflow

These steps should be completed in preparation for hiring a new employee

Create the position

1. Secure budget approval from department leader and VP of Business and Finance.
2. Create/update a job description.
3. Send job description with posting instructions and end date to HR.
4. Post the job.

Choose a candidate

1. Receive applications and interview candidates.
2. Finalize candidates and conduct a second interview (with different interviewers).
3. Make an offer to the chosen candidate and receive confirmation of acceptance. The offer should include:
   1. Start date
   2. Job title
   3. Position/person to whom the employee will be reporting
   4. Salary or wage rate, with hours/week

Complete the Employment Change Request

The Employment Change Request can be found here: https://mycts.covenantseminary.edu/human-resources/employment-change.

OR

1. Go to https://mycts.covenantseminary.edu and log in with your employee email and password.
2. Click on My CTS.
3. Click on Human Resources > Employment Change.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions for creating a new Employment Change Request.

A submitted Employment Change Request will notify various parties of the new hire:

• Human Resources (who will in turn, notify IT Services)
• The hiring manager
• The creator of the request
• The previous manager (in the event the employee is transferring or adding a role in a different department)

Request Completion of the New Hire Enrollment Packet

The hiring manager should work with the new employee to complete the Human Resources New Hire Enrollment Packet prior to the start date. This assists in on-boarding and helping the employee start his/her job immediately.

These steps should be completed during the first week of the new employee's employment.

New Employee On-Boarding

During the first week of work, it is helpful both to the institution and to the new employee for the hiring manager to orient the new employee to various policies and procedures pertaining to the department he/she will be working in. These can include but are not limited to:

• Computer and Network Acceptable Use Policy
• Department policies and procedures
• Department dress code
• Department expected arrival and departure times
• Mail and shipping
• Purchasing and expense reporting
• Campus Safety and Security Report

Notify the campus of the new employee

Possibilities include:

• Send a campus-wide email introducing the new employee.
• Tour campus with the new employee and make introductions.
• Assign a point-of-contact for the new employee to assist with general questions.
