Search Committee Members: Reviewing Candidates

Overview

Search committee members are people who are going to assist with reviewing and screening candidates. This role should not be used for all people who are going to be interviewing a candidate (those should be added at the interviewing stage).

For those who are participating as search committee members, you will not have any inbox tasks or notifications that candidates have applied, and you will not be able to move candidates through the process, just the capability to review the candidates that have applied.

You may decide or be asked to give your department external feedback on the resumes you have reviewed and suggest who should be considered for a phone screen or interview. However, the hiring manager or primary recruiter will be the one to move the candidate through the steps of the recruitment process inside of Workday. 

Finding Candidates & Reviewing Materials

1. If you are already a hiring manager or Primary Recruiter, you can go to your Recruiting Dashboard to find the position for which you're a search committee member and follow the steps to review candidates as if it were a job under your purview.
2. If you are NOT a hiring manager or primary recruiter for other positions, you will need to add an app to your app menu. Click on the app menu (three lines in the top-left corner of Workday), and click "Add Apps" at the bottom:

3. Then search for "My Jobs" and choose the "My Recruiting Jobs - Indexed" app. This is the ONLY app you will have full access to on this list, so if you add another one and get an error, make sure to come back and add the "Indexed" version:

You only have the ability to view their details.
