What is Hiring Manager? Hiring Manager is a paperless online system that allows you to:
  • see who has applied to staff recruitments
  • review application documents and materials
  • sort applicants by qualifications and make notes
  • fill recruitments
Access to Hiring Manager Here are two ways to access Hiring Manager:
Managing applicants to your recruitments
  • In Hiring Manager, click on 'Reqs' on the left , then select 'My Reqs'. To view the applicants to your recruitment, click on the + sign to the left of the recruitment number.
  • To view the applicants' materials, click the + sign to the left of the applicant's name, then click the + sign to the left of the text that reads 'Documents for...'
  • After reviewing the applicants' materials, assign code A, B or C to the applicant by clicking on the button marked with three dots next to the status code in the 'Result For This Req' column.
New applicants in Hiring Manager
  • HR Recruiters review all resumes for minimum qualifications. Log into Hiring Manager to review these.
  • Your first batch of new applicants will be available within 2 business days of your recruitment posting to the job listings website.
A, B, and C codes
  • A - the strongest candidates, meeting all of your requirements.

When scheduling interviews, look to your A list first, then the B list if needed.
