Satisfactory reference checks are a condition of employment. The hiring supervisor is responsible for verification of the applicant’s work background, attendance, performance, and credentials. Prior to making an offer, the hiring supervisor must contact at least two (2) of the applicant's references, one of which must be the current supervisor. This applies to both current staff applying for transfer and to external applicants.
Completion of the online application signifies the right to obtain pertinent information about the applicant. Applicants must complete the online application prior to having their references checked. Therefore, applicants brought in for interviews should complete the online application at that time if they have not yet done so.
All applicants, including those offered faculty positions, who have been recommended for hire must complete a criminal conviction investigation check and government sanction check. Based on a job classification's hiring requirements, some positions require further background investigation (motor vehicle, academic, licensure, credit, etc.). We arrange for the criminal history, government sanctions, and motor vehicle checks. The hiring department is responsible for other background investigations.
