Hiring Managers’ Tool Kit
The Office of Human Resources is available to provide a wide range of services and support as you embark on identifying candidates to fill open positions. This Tool Kit is designed to provide you with everything you will need to know to conduct a successful job search from posting and advertising, to making the employment offer, and beyond!
Our recruiting services are designed to consistently meet the needs of University hiring managers and will be delivered in a timely and efficient manner. However, because we recognize the individualized nature of recruiting at Notre Dame, we also offer a series of additional services. The Recruiting Consultant assigned to your project will discuss these options and in consultation with you, draw up a recruiting plan tailored to meet your specific needs.
Jobs@ND Online Employment Site
Effective December 1, 2005, The Office of Human Resources implemented Jobs@ND Online Employment Site. Jobs@ND is an online system designed to improve services to Hiring Managers, Budget Administrators, and Deans/Directors involved in the recruiting and hiring process.
Creating a Job Posting
Hiring Managers will access the system to create a job posting and submit it through an established work flow process to obtain necessary departmental approvals. Once the approvals are obtained, your job posting will be received by a Recruiting Consultant who will contact you to discuss the specifics of your posting.
View & Access Applicant Information
As a hiring manager, you will be able to view pre-qualified employment applications, resumes, and cover letters online. Hiring managers can also track search results and applicant statuses.
For additional assistance please contact the Office of Human Resources at 631-5900 or download the Jobs@ND Hiring Managers User Guide (PDF).
