Job Aid: "How to Create a Requisition in PageUp"

Topics

In the rare event that the hiring department is requesting a waiver of the posting process for a position, the Hiring Manager must upload the "Posting Waiver Form" into the Document section on the Job Requisition Form in PageUp and include a narrative to the form explaining the exceptional circumstances that justify the waiver.  All waivers are subject to review and approval by the Office of Human Resources.

Below are examples of exceptional circumstances:

  • If the position is funded by a grant or contract and the employment relationship is anticipated to be no longer than twelve (12) months in duration.*
  • There is an opportunity to secure a staff person on a permanent basis, independent of a specific vacancy or position, and that person has such highly specialized skills that a search would not yield as qualified a candidate.
  • There is an immediate and urgent need to fill a position and the appointment has an anticipated duration of less than six months.
  • The candidate is highly qualified for the position based on expertise and possesses unique skills, knowledge, abilities or experience.

*Some exceptions may apply.  Please see HR.
