Hiring Overview and Roles
From initial vacancy to onboarding a new hire, three key departments guide the process every step of the way. Workforce Management, Compensation Services, and Talent Acquisition each play a distinct role in moving your position from approval to filled—ensuring a smooth, efficient hiring experience.
Workforce Management
The Workforce Management Program helps manage staff hiring, staffing adjustments, and provides support for employees impacted by layoffs or reductions in work time. Once a vacancy is approved at the department level, hiring teams work with their department HR Business Partner (HRBP) to submit a Vacancy Request Form for review.
Compensation Services
After vacancy approval, a department representative will create a ticket and attach the corresponding Workforce Management number (I.e. WFM-0345) approval email. Once the role and budget are approved, Compensation assigns a Job Order Number.
Talent Acquisition
With the job order approved, Talent Acquisition supports your department through the full recruitment process—from posting a job, to sourcing and interviewing talent, to making an offer.
