HR Hiring Timelines

EOHR Permanent Staff Hire Timeline

The timing of your form approval should align with the Executive Office HR Hiring Timeline:

Position Type Timeline

Replacement with no changes to position data or duties/responsibilities 4-week lead time to Date of POSTING on UW Hires

EOHR Non-Permanent Staff Hire Timeline

For Fixed Term (Professional) or Limited Appointment (Classified) positions only, there is an option to post the position as a closed recruitment (direct hire) of a qualified candidate. If you have a direct hire identified, include the candidate’s name in the comments section of the form along with a confirmation that the candidate meets all qualifications and requirements of the position.

EOHR Processing

The Executive Office HR team strives to meet all hiring and posting dates requested in alignment with this timeline; however, as final posting may be dependent on approvals from Total Talent Management, HR Compensation, and the ISC, the timeline may be extended depending on the current volume for those offices. Executive Office HR will work closely with you and our partners in HR and the ISC to mitigate these delays to the best of our team’s ability.

Once your form is approved locally, your Executive Office HR contact will submit the position creation and requisition creation in Workday which will route to the appropriate HR/ISC contacts for approval.

Once the position and requisition are fully approved, Executive Office HR will advise you when the requisition is posted in UWHIRES.
