Direct User Feature in OES
When hiring new short-term and student-based staff, much of the time departments have hired using their own processes; however, with the need to facilitate background checks on multiple new employees added an element that could be overwhelming to hiring process coordinators. Because of this need, the office of Employment within Human Resources has implemented the Direct User feature, order to automate many of the previously paper-driven aspects of the employment application process.
The Direct User account is used to complete three main tasks:
- Create job requisitions
- View applicants to your requisitions
- Complete Pre-Employment National Background Checks
The system is designed to benefit you by facilitating:
- Faster processing of employment applications
- Up-to-date access to information regarding all of your requisitions
- More detailed screening of applicants’ qualifications – before they reach the interview stage
The Direct User account is appropriate for:
- Posting HR Temporary Employment (STEPS) exemptions
- Posting Student Wage Lines
- Posting Post-Doctoral Fellow Positions
- Posting Teaching Assistant, Resident Assistant and Graduate Assistant positions
The Direct User account is NOT appropriate for:
- Posting regular positions (with benefits)
- Posting HR Temporary Employment (STEPS) positions
- Faculty Positions
