Automated student hiring is live
Students now can search and apply for positions online at “Student’s Links” on the Temple University portal. Go to studentjobs@temple to browse open positions at the university or create a username and password to create a profile and apply.
This enhanced capability is part of the new automated student hiring process that Human Resources is implementing. It also includes a requisition/applicant tracking database system that is almost paperless and eliminates the delays of the prior manual system.
Departments now can post their student positions online, track applicants and electronically upload new student hires into the university’s payroll system. Students should be processed and on the timekeeping systems within 24 hours. For more information, contact Abe Hedgcock at 215-204-3332 or hedgcock@temple.edu, or Stephanie Tschanz at 215-204-6357 or steph712@temple.edu.
