Hiring Finance Professionals
Finance Professional 1 and 2 positions from across the University are combined into a single job posting, allowing candidates to apply just once for all open positions. This process creates a positive candidate experience and has several advantages for hiring managers:
- A dedicated, central recruiter will handle posting, advertising, recruiting, and collecting applications for finance professional openings, avoiding duplicated effort.
- Hiring managers can take advantage of a shared pool of pre-qualified applicants.
- Units will have a list of candidates within two days of their request.
- This continuous recruiting process will help retain top finance candidates who might have been turned away once a particular job was filled.
- Units benefit from an OHR web page just for finance professionals, showcasing current openings.
