Talent Acquisition is sunsetting the FastTrack hiring process effective January 2, 2027. The final day for processing requests through FastTrack will be December 30, 2026. This transition supports UAB’s continued commitment to consistent hiring practices, regulatory compliance, and effective workforce management.

FastTrack was originally established as an exception process to address limited, urgent staffing needs that required an expedited pathway for temporary assignments. As UAB’s temporary staffing needs have evolved, transitioning these requests to UAB Temporary Services will provide a more standardized and coordinated approach to candidate screening, compensation review, onboarding, required documentation, and compliance requirements.

Beginning January 2, 2027, all new temporary staffing requests will be managed through UAB Temporary Services. Departments should discontinue submitting new FastTrack requests after December 30, 2026, and route all new temporary staffing needs through Temporary Services.

Departments may continue to refer individuals for consideration for temporary assignments. Referred candidates will be required to complete the standard application, qualification review, pre-employment screening, I-9 verification, compensation review, and onboarding process before beginning work.
