BSA's Recruitment Process:
BSA's Recruitment Process:
Review LBNL Resources. Visit the Hiring Manager Tools and Resources and Talent Outreach Programs sites.
Identify the Need. Consult with your HR Division Partner to assess your hiring needs.
a) Confirm the position and level.
b) Ensure the position aligns with organizational goals and current workload needs.
3. Obtain Approvals.
a) BE, BSAO, EB and MB Division - Consult with your Resource Analyst (RA) to confirm that there is funding for your position and verify that you have the correct PID before moving forward. Confirming both items will help prevent delays during the approval process.
b) JG Division - Obtain approval from the Talent Management Team (TMT) before moving forward.
4. Confirm that the hiring manager has HEERA status. Supervisory employees are defined under the Higher Education Employer-Employee Relations Act (HEERA). To obtain supervisor status, an employee must first receive HEERA status, which requires completing the Online Supervisor Course.
5. Draft a position description (PD). HR can provide sample descriptions, as needed.
Note: PDs are not needed for Student Assistant hires unless it is a posted recruited position. Skip to Step 5.
6. Send your drafted PD to Jenny Quan, HRDP for review. While drafting your PD, use the job leveling charts to confirm the correct job level and code.
7. Complete the New Hire Request form to request the job posting or direct hire. Note: Select the Secondary Org Code to help us determine the main work location of the new employee. See here for the Biosciences Area work locations.
Recruited Hire: BSA's Sr. Recruiter, Sapana Kanakia, will reach out to the hiring manager to start the search process.
Direct Hire: A member from the HR Shared Services will reach out to the applicant to start the application process.
As always, please feel free to reach out to your BSA HR Team with any questions. We are here to support your recruitment needs.
