Hiring for Staff Positions

Human Resources is here to help you navigate through the recruitment and selection process.

1. Review the Position

Union (LCCSSA/Teamster) & Non-Exempt Positions

Please complete a Position Description Questionnaire (PDQ) for the position you are filling. This is required to make significant changes to a current Union or Non-Exempt position or to create a new non-exempt position.
HR will determine if there is an existing PDQ for the position you are filling. If not, HR will provide a link to the PDQ you need to complete.
Human Resources will review the FINAL PDQ and contact you with approval to move forward with creating the job requisition.

Exempt/Salaried positions

For new positions or positions that require significant changes to duties/requirements, please contact Helen Howell directly with your intent to hire.

After you create the job requisition in Workday, it will get routed to Human Resources, Manager (if they didn’t create the job requisition), Budget, Division Executive, and then VP of Finance/Chief of Staff for approval.

3. Posting the Position

Once the position has been approved to fill, Human Resources will complete the posting process.

4. Selecting The Right Candidate
