The hiring department is responsible for verifying degree completion and employment references.

All information must be verified prior to the offer of employment. Employment References for some positions will be done electronically by Skill Survey.

This electronic reference check is coordinated by email and is a crucial step in the hiring process, so timely completion is necessary.

All employees hired for a position with a degree requirement will need to provide original transcripts prior to the start of employment.

Vacancies can be found on the Human Resource Services Jobs website.

All applications are processed electronically through this website. Computer stations are provided outside of the Human Resource Services office for those individuals who do not have access to the web.

You can apply if you have taken a civil service exam and receive a canvass letter for that specific vacancy.

Otherwise, you can apply if you are a permanent employee at the college and meet the posted qualifications for the position. Employees from other state agencies who are interested and eligible to transfer to a posted vacancy should check our Jobs website often and apply directly to whichever position interests you.

You may be contacted by Human Resource Services for additional information in order to verify your eligibility to transfer.

A canvass letter is merely an announcement that a vacancy exists in the title for which an individual was tested. A person must be reachable (one of the top three scores of those individuals who responded interested) to be eligible for an interview.

Visit the Civil Service website for information on up-coming exams.

The I-9 is a federally required document that verifies that an individual is eligible for employment in this country. According to the rules governing the completion of the I-9, only original documents can be used. You can find the required documentation listed on the back of the I-9 form: one document from list “A” OR one each from lists “B” and “C”.

US citizens: I-9’s are valid continuously unless a break of employment occurs. If an employee is rehired within 3 years of the date that a previous Form I-9 was completed, the employer may either request a new Form I-9, or complete Section 3 of the previously completed Form I-9. If the employer previously completed Section 3, or if the version of the form used for a previous verification is no longer valid, Section 3 of a new Form I-9 must be completed using the most current version and attached to the previously completed Form I-9. Also, if any supporting documentation is expired, you may have to provide updated documents. If a rehire occurs after 3 years from the initial date of execution of the Form I-9, a new Form I-9 must be completed.

International employees on H-1B (specialty occupation) or J-1 (exchange visitor) visas must have their I-9 updated each time their visa is renewed.

In the event of a name change, new supporting documentation is also required.

During your orientation with Human Resource and Payroll Services, you will receive a temporary ID card. Take this card to the ID card office in Clinton Dining Hall to have your picture taken and they will give you an official college ID card.

Contact your Human Resource and Payroll Services liaison to discuss the process. You must be eligible for the requested title, complete a Reclassification Questionnaire and Supervisor Statement, and other appropriate documentation such as a current organization chart so that a position analysis may be conducted. Supervisory and Vice Presidential input and support is also required.
