Portal functionalities
The following functionalities are available to hiring/appointments committees in the recruitment portal:
- Access to applicant material.
- Access to completed Diversity Self-ID information for each applicant. Every applicant is asked to complete the survey and has the option to select 鈥減refer not to answer鈥 for any/all of the questions.
- Access to vacancy source information (i.e. where the applicant heard about the opportunity).
- The option to prepare and submit a hiring recommendation directly in the portal and have some of the data (e.g. number of applicants, etc.) automatically generated. Hiring/appointments committees may also check the status of the hiring recommendation as it progresses through the different stages of approval.

- Before completing the hiring recommendation, you will first need to identify which of your applicants were longlisted (if applicable) and shortlisted, following these steps:
- On the main page, select 鈥淢anage Applicants鈥.
- From the list of applicants, click on the name of each applicant (one at a time) who was either longlisted or shortlisted. This will take you to the application page of the particular applicant you have selected.
- On the applicant鈥檚 page, you will find a section titled 鈥淎ctions鈥. Click on the dropdown menu and select the option that best applies (e.g. Long Listed, Preferred Candidate List, etc.). Note: 鈥減referred candidates list鈥 is the same as 鈥渟hortlist鈥.
- Complete the same steps for each applicant who was longlisted and shortlisted.
- Return to the main page.
- To begin your hiring recommendation, select the option titled 鈥淗iring Form鈥 and click on the position number that will appear. This will take you to a page titled, 鈥淗iring Recommendation Form鈥. On this page, three options will appear as follows: 鈥淪ection 1-4: Competition鈥, 鈥淪ection 5: Candidates鈥 and 鈥淪ection 6: Approvals鈥.
- Complete sections 1-4 on the page.
- In section 5, select the candidate being recommended from the dropdown menu and the questions requiring a response will appear. Provide your response to the questions.
- In section 6, select 鈥渟ignatures鈥 and an email will be sent to each committee member requesting that they log into the portal and confirm their agreement with the completed hiring recommendation.
Please note the following before you begin:
- Work is underway to implement an autosave function in the portal. Until such time, saving your work in the portal will be vital. As a precautionary measure, your committee may wish to prepare/collaborate on the responses to the questions in the form in a separate Google Doc and transfer the responses to the form in the portal using the copy and paste function.
- All hiring/appointments committee members have the option to contribute to the hiring recommendation form. However, at any given time, only one member should be working on it and saving the changes. Your hiring/appointments committee may consider designating one member (e.g. chair of the committee) to complete the recommendation in the portal.
- When working on the hiring recommendation form in the portal, please be sure to save the content at regular intervals and save before stepping away from it for any reason. Any inactivity for a period of more than a few minutes will automatically log you out, resulting in the loss of any content that has not been saved.
- It is possible for you to start a hiring recommendation in the portal, save the form partially completed and return at a later time to complete the form. Just be sure to save your work regularly and before exiting! When you select 鈥渟ave鈥, please be sure that a message confirming that the changes have been saved appears before logging off.
- All members of the hiring/appointments committee will be required to log into the portal and submit their signature before the hiring recommendation can move forward to the next level for approval.
- Once the hiring recommendation is submitted, your Dean鈥檚 Office (for faculty positions) or the Office of the Chief Librarian (for librarian positions) or the Office of the Vice-Provost, Students (for counsellor positions), will be notified and will proceed with next steps. Please note that no changes to the hiring recommendation can be made once it has been submitted. Therefore, please ensure that all hiring/appointments committee members have carefully reviewed the form before it is submitted. If after submitting the hiring recommendation, your hiring/appointments committee requires editing access, please contact your respective Dean鈥檚 Office (for faculty positions) or the Office of the Chief Librarian (for librarian positions) or the Office of the Vice-Provost, Students (for counsellor positions) and they will be able to reinstate editing access for your committee.

- Under 鈥淔aculty Hiring鈥, select 鈥淰iew All鈥.
- On the 鈥淔aculty and Academic Hiring鈥 page, towards the top, select the 鈥淗iring Forms鈥 tab. Note: do not select the relevant search from the list provided under 鈥淐ompetitions鈥 as accessing the hiring recommendation form through that route, will only provide sections 1-6, completed by the hiring/appointments committee, whereas the former route will also provide section 7 that is to be completed by the Office of the Dean (for faculty positions) or the Office of the Chief Librarians (for librarian positions) or the Office of the Vice-Provost, Students (for counsellor positions).
- Select the relevant search from the list.
- Review sections 1-6 completed by the hiring/appointments committee.
- Review the options in section 7 as follows:
- 鈥淪ave as draft鈥: please note that the autosave function is being worked on and will eventually be launched. For the time being, it is critical that you save your work as a prolonged absence from your computer will result in the system automatically logging you off. As a precautionary measure, you are advised to prepare your written recommendation in a separate Google Doc or a Word document and copy and paste it into the portal.
- 鈥淪ave and send hiring form to VPFA鈥: select this option once your recommendation is complete and you wish to advance it to the OVPFA for review and approval. Once this option is selected, an automatic email notification will be sent from the portal to the OVPFA. You may also wish to flag it for the OVPFA, particularly, if it is a time-sensitive recommendation. Any information regarding the vacancy and the applicant material that is already in the portal does not need to be submitted; it will automatically appear in the hiring recommendation.
- 鈥淧ush back to hiring committee鈥: select this option if you wish to have the hiring/appointments committee provide more information/clarification in the form.
- Upon receipt of the hiring recommendation, the OVPFA will review sections 1-6 completed by the hiring/appointments committee and section 7, completed by your office.
- The OVPFA will complete section 8 outlining the details of the approval. Please note that if additional information is required, the OVPFA may also choose to 鈥減ush back鈥 the hiring recommendation either to your office or directly to the hiring/appointments committee. You will receive an email notification in this regard.
- Upon receipt of the details from the OVPFA in section 8, your office may proceed with the offer to the candidate.
- Upon the offer being accepted (or rejected), your office will need to complete section 9 with this information.
