Posting Requisition Form

Purpose of Form

This form is to be used when a hiring manager is beginning the hiring process for an existing position. If the position does not exist, it will not be listed under the "Position Number" field in this form. The hiring manager must first complete the "Position Request and Change Form". All hiring managers will have access to this form. Please contact careers@selkirk.ca with any questions regarding this form. 

Workflow Summary

The Hiring Manager will enter all the details of the posting, attach the summary and description, then click Submit for approval. The form will follow workflow through all the required approvals (i.e. Supervisor, VP, and HR). Once the posting is fully approved, the HR Recruiter will integrate the posting from Unit4 ERP over to the Unit4 Recruit system. Once the posting is ‘Live’ on the Careers site, the hiring manager will receive a confirmation email. The Hiring Manager will proceed with the Recruit process in Unit4 Recruit in the same way. Login to Unit4 Recruit, assign your Hiring Committee, review your candidates, and schedule your interviews.
