Step 4: UNC-Chapel Hill Selection Process

Applications and supporting documents, if any, are received electronically and reviewed by the Office of Human Resources. All applications received during the posting period are reviewed, and those meeting the minimum education and experience requirements are forwarded, along with any supplemental documents, to the hiring department.

You can view pending job applications and submit addendums to positions for which you have applied by using “My Job Applications.”

The hiring department reviews the forwarded applications and selects applicants to interview. Departments cannot select a candidate before the closing date for the position. Applicants will be contacted directly by the hiring department. Interviews are generally conducted either by phone or in person, and there may be more than one round of interviews for a given position.

Hiring departments will conduct reference checks before an offer is extended. Credentials will be verified either during the hiring process or the probationary period.

When the hiring department selects a final candidate for a position, the University will complete a criminal conviction check prior to the candidate’s first scheduled day of work. A criminal conviction does not in and of itself prevent an applicant from being employed by the University. The nature of some convictions, however, may cause certain positions to be unavailable to you.

Failure to completely disclose information about a criminal conviction on an employment application is considered falsification of the employment application and will result in the applicant not being eligible for employment at the University.

The selected candidate will receive an offer for the position, including salary and recommended start date. The offer normally is made by the Employment, Classification & Compensation Specialist in the Office of Human Resources. However, some departments have been approved to make the offer directly to the selected candidate.

If the offer is accepted, selected candidates who are not currently SPA employees at the University will be scheduled for a Job Offer Acceptance Session with the Office of Human Resources, which will occur either on or before the candidate’s first day of employment. At this session, the new employee will sign his/her application materials, review and sign the Conditions of Employment, submit employment eligibility identification (Federal I-9 form), receive certain University policy information and learn about New Employee Orientation.

NOTE: Effective Jan. 1, 2007, in compliance with North Carolina law, immediately after hiring, the University will verify each new employee's legal status or authorization to work in the United States using the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Basic Pilot Program. An individual's employment will be terminated if they fail to comply with the employment authorization requirements or if it is determined that they are not authorized to work in the United States.

If a selected candidate declines the job offer, the hiring department may:
• extend an offer to a second candidate from the current applicant group
• repost the vacancy for another period
• cancel the recruitment for the position

In the event recruitment is cancelled for a position, applicants will receive email notification and be able to view the position status as cancelled using “My Job Applications.”
