Application Screening and Referral - MSO Recruitments
Approximately two working days after the final filing date for the recruitment, the applications that were received in Human Resources will be assembled by Employment and Outreach Services (E&OS)/HR for screening. The "two days" is to ensure that all applications submitted at the UC Davis Campus and Health System Employment Offices have been received and entered into our applicant tracking system.
Depending on workload and staffing, the applications will be ready for mailing or pick-up approximately five to eight working days after the final filing date. If the recruitment is open-until-filled (OTF) the applications will be screened and forwarded to the hiring department on a weekly basis. In general, OTF applications received by 5 PM each Friday will be routed the following week for E&OS screening and subsequent referral to the hiring department.
Employment Consultant/Recruiter Responsibilities:
- Review the requirements of the position for screening (skills, knowledge, abilities, experience, and special requirements) that are outlined in the Vacancy Listing and as listed in the position description.
- Review affirmative action goals and the applicant pool for diversity.
- If necessary, contact the department's recruitment contact (identified by the department in Job Machine system) or supervisor to clarify screening criteria.
- Perform a light screen of the applications to ensure the applications are complete which includes answers to questions #6, #7 & #8 on the application form and that all applications, except those that clearly are not qualified, are forwarded to the hiring department. • Ensure that any special supplemental requirements (e.g., letters of reference, work samples, etc.) are included with the application to be referred.
- If an application was not signed, or if only a resume was submitted without an application form, Employment and Outreach Services will include instructions to the department with the application referral packet, indicating the department must have each applicant who is invited to an interview complete an application form.
Department's Responsibilities:
- Review the applications, using the selection criteria to determine those applicants that should be invited for an interview, and submit to your selection committee.
