Recruit and Hire

The process for recruiting and hiring a new employee is as follows:

Create a position requisition via eRecruit. Through electronic approval routing, the hiring supervisor can review the requisition and approve the request for additional personnel. If you do not have access to eRecruit, please call the recruitment hotline at 240-314-7220.
Once the position requisition has been approved by the PI or hiring supervisor, it will automatically route, via e-mail, to the recruiting coordinator. The recruiting coordinator will create the job requisition and route it to the Finance Department for budget approval. Upon approval, the position will be posted on the HJF internal and external websites. If you wish to advertise in additional venues, contact the Human Resources Department
Select a candidate.
Submit a completed Applicant Interview form (HJF #238) to your recruiter. There is a five-day waiting period after a job has been opened before an offer can be made to an applicant. The recruiter must have a resume, applicant interview form and a job description to make an offer to an applicant.
The recruiter will make a verbal offer over the phone and an offer packet will be sent to the candidate within 48 hours of the verbal offer.

Note: Applicants waiting for visa approval will receive a “pending the approval of your visa” offer letter, as opposed to an offer letter indicating a start date.
