Why do I Need to Create a Requisition?
- If you are a new student supervisor and need to hire student employees or assist someone with hiring students, you must create a requisition (job posting). This will allow you to track applications, move students through the recruiting process, and offer students jobs through our system.
Helpful Tips
- When creating a requisition, some information will be pre-populated. You should not need to edit these fields unless specified in the instructions.
- You can save your progress by clicking "save and close" and return to it at any time, the posting does not need to be completed all at once.
- For the purposes of this article and recruitment in IC HR Cloud, postings made visible to our internal candidate career site are viewable to all current faculty, staff, and student employees. Postings made visible to our external candidate career site are viewable to any prospective faculty, staff, or students who have never held a position on campus.
NOTE: If you have already set up a posting and would like instructions on moving a student through the recruiting process and sending a job offer,
