Recruiting Online
Building your team – including hiring well and for the right positions – is one of the most important roles of a supervisor.
Having the right people, doing the right work, is essential for the success of the college. Recruitment of new employees and promotion of existing employees into new positions, requires a significant investment of time and effort.
Every recruitment process must be conducted in a careful and informed manner. This information is intended for Hiring Managers, and is also relevant to anyone sitting on a Hiring/Selection Committee.
POSTINGS
Submitting a Posting
Login to Unit4 and fill out a “Posting Requisition Form” then click the Paperclip to attach your draft posting details
Once your posting goes through the workflow of approvals, HR will integrate your posting into Hireserve. You will be cc’d on the “Posting for Boards” email notifying that your posting is Live.
Postings Visibility
Once approved, the posting will be live on the career site at http://careers.selkirk.ca and ready to receive applications. Additionally, HR will email the new posting(s) to our Postings Email Group. However, for the time being, we will not be physically posting on our internal bulletin boards.
Internal/External postings will be on MySelkirk, Selkirk.ca, WorkBC, and the bulletin boards. Additional advertising may be considered.
INTERVIEWS
All interviews will be conducted either in-person or remotely via Microsoft Teams. For detailed instructions on setting up interviews, please see: Unit4 Recruit Guides.
Setting up Interviews: When creating your interview schedule in Hireserve, please make it clear how the interviews will be held (in-person or Virtual) and if in-person, where the location of the interview will be. If you do not have a room booked yet, you can put the Campus location and room 'TBD', the Recruitment team can reach out to candidates once the room is confirmed.
Interview Packages: Hiring Managers must determine interview questions in advance of interviews, and the same set of questions must be used for each candidate for a given position. For assistance in writing interview questions or if you need a copy from the last round of interviews for that position, please email careers@selkirk.ca. HR will create your interview packages and provide them to you and your Hiring Committee prior to your interviews.
Interview Questions: Each Hiring Committee member must complete their set of candidate interview questions by taking notes on each candidates’ responses. This can be done either on their computer; or if handwritten is easier, print, write your notes and then return them the hiring manager following the interview.
EXTENDING OFFERS AND GIVING REGRETS
Before HR can make an offer, hiring managers must complete and return the following to HR@selkirk.ca:
Employment Contract (salary/wage, position details, contract type, 2 signatures (see Note below), start dates and end dates (if applicable))
Scale Placement for BCGEU | Scale Placement for SCFA (if applicable)
Note: Employment contracts require two signatures: one from the hiring manager, and one from the hiring manager’s supervisor. Create a Fillable PDF Signature and enter into the fillable PDFs; email signatures will also be accepted.
Upon receiving the required documentation, the HR team will prepare an offer letter, and the Executive Director of Human Resources will extend the offer to the successful candidate via telephone. After the verbal offer, the HR team will email the candidate their offer letter (cc’ing the Hiring Manager), and await acceptance.
Depending on the circumstance, either HR or the Hiring manager will send regrets to unsuccessful candidates.
CONTRACTS
After an offer letter has been accepted, the Hiring Manager must complete the balance of relevant employment contract forms and submit to HR@selkirk.ca. Fillable PDF’s of the following forms can be found on MySelkirk at https://my.selkirk.ca/staff/dept/hr/hiring/.
