Hiring staff at the UW is a multi-step process with different employment programs requiring different processes. The hiring process for all employment programs is managed through our online system, UWHIRES. Follow the links to the left for step-by-step instructions on how to hire staff.
HR is here to help. Each department has a dedicated Employment Specialist (ES). Your ES can provide guidance and support throughout the selection and hiring process. Employment Specialists work directly with Compensation on classification/employment program and establishing recruiting salary ranges.
Employment Specialists work directly with hiring supervisors and departmental administrators to post the jobs to the UW’s employment website and place other recruitment-related advertising. During the selection process, Employment Specialists assist departments in developing interviewing tools, reviewing the applicant pool for top candidates, advising on required reference checking, and developing offer letters.
