Applicant Tracking FAQ’s for Internal Users (Hiring managers)

The University started using PeopleAdmin in 2004. Since then, the University's needs have outgrown PeopleAdmin and the hiring model it supports. The new applicant tracking system which is called Taleo is a system trusted by many large businesses and universities alike, and it gives us access to a model and to tools that help us stay on the cutting edge of Talent Management.

The new systems and guidelines we'll put into place will help us find quality employees more consistently. The process of posting a job to our new careers website will be standardized, and job posts will be strategically written to draw the most talented candidates to the university. The system will be streamlined, so the time it takes a candidate to apply will be much shorter than it is today.

This system brings with it many tools that will make our lives easier. Here are just a few:

• You will be able to see at the dashboard what stages your candidates are in.
• The system has auto-generated messages that will keep the candidate engaged and informed.
• Social sourcing will allow us to reach candidates that we weren’t able to reach before.
