With the fall semester around the corner, students will soon be back on campus and many of them will be looking for part-time job opportunities on campus. Read on to know where to go for resources, training, and how to find the right student.
Start with JobX, your portal
The first step to hiring students involves posting the position on JobX, the University’s student employment job posting system containing both on- and off-campus job listings. On the site, employers can post jobs, find policies and procedures, and download the JobX training tutorial user guide. Login with your UM credentials to post and manage jobs, and access student applications.
The manager tool kit will help new student managers get started, find important forms that need to be completed and access resources to help you navigate Workday, which is where the actual hiring is done.
Become a Workday master
University employees can register to attend a 90-minute live webinar that will cover hiring students into shell jobs, adding job assignments, processing student pay changes, and ending student job assignments.
