Job Postings/Hiring Documents:

If you are hiring for a new or replacement position in your department, please complete the appropriate Job Requisition Form in ApplicantPro.

Return to the completed form along with appropriate approval signatures to the Employee Engagement Office, 109 Getzville, or electronically to hr@daemen.edu. A digital copy of the Job Description must be emailed to the Employee Engagement Office as well.

Please note, the university is currently registered as an employer in NY, NJ, UT, VT, CA and specific counties in OH and PA only. If you believe you wish to hire an individual who will work remotely from a state other than the five states listed above, you will need to coordinate in advance with the Employee Engagement and Accounting Department for approval. This is to ensure proper state registration and legal compliance is complete prior to date of hire. Depending on the state, this could take at least 2 to 3 months.

CREATING A JOB REQUISITION:

ApplicantPro is now configured for requisition input and approval entirely.  You will no longer need to submit a paper form.  Please see one of the below workflows to input a digital requisition.  If you do not have access to ApplicantPro or forgot your password, please contact hr@daemen.edu.

Candidate Travel Guidelines:

If you are highly interested in a candidate that will need travel arrangements (flight, hotel stay, etc.) email hr@daemen.edu at least 2 weeks before you plan to have them on campus so we can schedule everything properly with our travel agency. It is up to one of the committee members to coordinate the pickup and drop off for the incoming candidate from the airport to the hotel.

This policy is intended to provide general guidelines to Search Committee chairs regarding scheduling meals with candidates. The policy will ensure that all applicants receive a similar interview experience at Daemen University and allocates university resources in a prudent and responsible manner. The Office of Employee Engagement will only cover the expenses for 1 MEAL during the candidate's stay - whether that is breakfast, lunch, or dinner will be up to the committee to decide and confirm with Employee Engagement PRIOR to the interview. Other expenses will have to come out of the appropriate department/office budget. 

Meals arranged by a Search Committee should be limited to a maximum of three members from the committee and the candidate (for a total of 4). Meals should be arranged through the Daemen Dining Service and held in the John R. Yurtchuk Student Center Executive Dining Room or other suitable location on-campus whenever possible.

The committee may arrange for one meal at a local restaurant for up to three members of the committee and the candidate if Daemen Dining Services is not an option for that interview date. An original itemized receipt must be submitted to the Business Office for reimbursement with an appropriate Purchase Requisition listing the details of the interview date/time/candidate name, who was in attendance for the meal from committee, etc. The receipt should indicate those present at the meal and the meal gratuity should not exceed 20% of the bill.
