The system offers a very efficient tool for collecting candidate references. Indicate during the requisition process if you will collect references using the online system selecting a maximum and minimum number of references needed. This will allow the candidate to include reference providers’ email addresses at the time they complete the faculty job application. You can choose at which point(s) in the process that you prefer to actually request references. For example, if you will only request references (letters of recommendation from candidates on the short-list, you can make “short list/further review in the system); and when candidates are moved to this status, the system will automatically send a request for a reference/letter of recommendation to the candidate’s reference providers.

References can be collected outside of the system, if that is the preference of the search committee/department. It is not a requirement to request references within the system.

Yes. If the search committee prefers not to request and accept references through UAB Faculty Jobs (UAB PeopleAdmin); references can be collected outside of the system. Simply leave the “reference collection” fields blank on the position requisition. You can manually collect references in UAB PeopleAdmin as well. You can collect the names and e-mail addresses of the candidate’s reference providers; and then request the provider to provide the reference/letter of recommendation in PeopleAdmin at any time in the process.

The Search Chair/Hiring Manager person(s) will receive an email notification when the Hiring Proposal has been fully-approved. The email will state that the HIRING PROPOSAL HAS MOVED TO THE STATUS OF EXTEND OFFER. At this point, please proceed with extending the offer to your candidate.
