We require all staff users of UC RECRUIT to receive training prior to using the program. Academic Affairs staff provide this training once every other month. There is a minimum of five (5) attendees required in order to host a training session. If the minimum number of attendees is not reached, then the training session will be canceled and attendees will be asked to register for the next scheduled training session. Trainings will be provided in person on the UC Davis campus.

Background

RECRUIT is a program that was developed at the University of California, Irvine, to manage the entire faculty recruitment process. UC Davis began its use of RECRUIT in the summer of 2012. The system allows applicants to apply electronically and securely, and enables search committees and administrative staff to manage the recruitment process electronically and securely. In addition, this system provides the Office of the President accurate end-result data regarding campus recruitments.
