Please review below for best practices and handy tips!
Please submit all requests to hrinfo@uwlax.edu with the subject line 'Reference Check'.
Faculty Recruitment Candidates:
- If a final candidate has worked for any UW Institution in the last seven (7) years, HR will need to check their personnel file BEFORE any verbal or written offer is given.
- Within 1-2 business days, HR will respond as to whether or not the Department can proceed with the offer.
University and Administrative Staff Candidates:
- At the time you are requesting on campus interviews, is the best time to send a request to hrinfo@uwlax.edu for a full reference check and misconduct check.
- When you contact the candidate to come in for an interview, please let them know that will recieve an email from SkillSurvey which they will be required to review & complete.
- Instructions should be given to the candidate to check their inbox and spam/junk folder
- Additionally, please make them aware that their references will also be receiving an email.
- If a candidate does not have work experience or has been absent from the workforce for a period of time, we can have them submit references but would list the one who has known them longest as a supervisor/manager.
- Additional reference calls can be made if questions are submitted to the Office of Civil Rights and Compliance and approved prior to making those calls.
- If candidates are struggling with completing their SkillSurvey reference they can also reach out to the hiring manager or HR for assistance.
As always, we thank you for your collaboration. If there are any issues, concerns or questions, please connect with HR for assistance.
