For Hiring Managers
In addition to the recruitment checklists found in this toolkit, the UF Leadership Toolkit features additional recruitment resources for hiring managers such as “How to Write an Effective Job Posting” and “Behavioral Based Interview Questions.” These and other resources are aimed at supporting hiring managers in conducting effective and productive recruiting efforts and can be found on the Hiring page.

Accessing Data Per Requisition
EEO data is collected pre-hire on all applicants in order to meet regulatory requirements and is voluntary on the part of the applicant. To ensure compliance with EEOC guidelines, demographic data is kept separately from an application as an applicant proceeds through the hiring process. Selection, hiring, and promotional decisions should not be based on this data. However, this data may be used post-hire to evaluate the success of strategies that contribute to a more diverse work environment.
Running an EEO Report per Job Requisition for Staff & Students DOCX
Applicants are attracted to our jobs from multiple channels. It’s important to note which channels are working and which need less time and attention. With every requisition your college or unit has open, a source report will let you know how many candidates are coming from each source and where competitive candidates are learning about your openings.
If you have invested in a channel that is severely underperforming, then you have the justification you need to adjust in your advertising strategy, and the same goes with the opposite. You can focus more time on the sources that are yielding a diverse pool of highly competitive candidates.
