Hiring Official/Search Committee

When entering the members of the search committee, please remember to include the Hiring Authority, Committee Appointing Official and Committee Chair. If one person fills more than one of these roles, that person must be entered for each role. It is also important that legal names are entered in this section. Common names may be placed in parenthesis. For each person entered, choose a designation from the drop-down box (faculty, staff, grad student, undergrad student or other). "Other" is reserved for those people who do not work for or attend the University. After each committee member is entered, click on the "Save Changes" button to enter the next member's name and information. After all of the members are entered, click "Save and Stay on Page" or "View Posting Summary" to save the information. If you skip this step, all of the names and information will be lost. Once you have saved the committee, send an email notification to EADP by clicking the email link in the "General Information" section of the page. Search Committees must include persons with protected class status* under the Board of Regents guidelines. Gender and racial/ethnic diversity is required. Search committee members can include individuals from the department, related departments, the University community, students, the professional community, and UNL alumni. Written approval of the search committee is required before the first meeting or the screening of applicants. The response will be faxed to the Search Committee Chair.

Short List

In order for an applicant to be included on the Short List, the status of that applicant must be changed in PeopleAdmin. Multiple applicants may be changed by using the "Change Multiple Applicant Statuses" button. Leave the status of the other applicants as "Under Review by Manager". Do not use "Not Considered" unless the application materials have not and will not be reviewed. Once all Short List applicants have been identified, send an email notification to EADP by clicking the email link. The Short List must be submitted at the same time as the completed Applicant Log. Submit the Applicant Log via fax. Written approval of the Short List is required before scheduling any interviews. The response will be faxed to the Search Committee Chair.

Applicant Log

The Applicant Log may be printed from PeopleAdmin Reports. The minimum qualifications and preferences need to be written on the printed report. If prefered qualifications are included, please distinguish them from the minimum qualifications. Indicate how each applicant meets the qualifications. Submit the Applicant Log to EADP via fax (402-472-9440) when the Short List is submitted.

Once an offer has been made and accepted by an applicant, the requisition needs to be closed. This is done by filling out the Post Hire Details, submitting an email to EADP and changing the requisition posting status to "Filled."
