Once a candidate has been identified for hire, the manager should contact the candidate to confirm their interest in the position, salary expectation, and anticipated start date. When confirming anticipated start date, the manager should generally select a date at least two weeks out.
Once interest is confirmed, the manager should inform the candidate a formal offer letter, contingent on background screen and references, will be sent through Workday.
To make a formal offer:
- Managers need to use the Initiate Offer process in Workday.
- The manager's supervisor, Employee Services and Finance are required to approve.
- After approval, Employee Services sends the candidate a formal offer letter through Workday.
NOTE - it is important managers and candidates complete required steps timely to ensure the hiring process continues to move forward.
