FIVE-STEP HIRING PROCESS
Post a position
While the hiring and selection process may be similar regardless of the position type, the steps to post the position on the Integrated Employment System (IES) website are different.
Here, you'll find information on how to post each position type.
Staff positions
The hiring department must first submit a position description. Then, the request is routed through HR Compensation and Employment for approvals prior to being posted.
For campus areas, this is initiated through IES website. For UK HealthCare, this is initiated through UK HealthCare Position Review.

A STEPS team member will post your job request and collaborate with you to determine the level of service needed to fill your staffing requests. This can range from a full-service selection and placement strategy to a hybrid model where both STEPS and the hiring manager will participate in identifying and selecting the new hire.
