Hiring Review Process

Effective 2/26/2025, a hiring review process has been implemented in which all hires must be reviewed by the president or executive vice presidents. 

Please refer to the CoE Hiring Process Matrix for College-specific guidelines on how to navigate these processes and procedures. 

For additional guidance and answers to common questions, please refer to UHR's Hiring Review Process Questions and Answers and UHR's Hiring Review FAQ.

Review and Approval Workflow

1. Form Submission:

   • • Hiring teams are required to submit the appropriate CoE Hire / Offer Approval Request Form (Staff or Faculty) for all job postings and job offers.

       • • Signed offer letters dated prior to February 26, 2025 will be honored and will follow the standard college policies and practices. The review process is not required.

         • Postings listed on U-M's Career's website prior to the mandate will require the submission of the CoE Hire / Offer Approval Request Form.

2. Dean's Office Review:

   • • The Dean's Office conducts the initial review of all requests.

3. President's Office Review:

   • • If the Dean's Office approves the request following the initial review, RPM HR will escalate the request to the President's Office using the TDX ticketing system.

4. Notification:

   • • Upon review completion, RPM HR will notify the hiring team of the decision and provide the TDX ticket number, if applicable.

5. Documentation Requirements:

   • • If approved, a note in eRecruit under the "Activities and Attachments" tab is mandatory.

       • • Include the TDX ticket number in the subject line and set to "public" status as evidence of approval. RPM HR will provide this number.
