Managing Positions & Hiring in Oracle

Position Descriptions

A Position Description outlines the requirements and duties of a position succinctly and in a structured format. Position Descriptions are posted, along with the ads, when advertising for open positions. They are also used in providing guidance to new hires, coaching employees, and evaluating performance. Components of a Position Description include a position summary; education, experience and skill requirements; and primary and secondary duties of the job.

As we transition our recruiting and onboarding processes to Oracle, it is important that you work closely with Human Resources. 

Hiring Protocols

We are currently transitioning our recruiting and onboarding processes to Oracle. Some items in the information below will be updated as we make this change. Please work closely with Human Resources for your hiring needs, especially during this transition.

The following guides are meant to be quick and easy references to be used when anticipating staffing changes and filling positions.

As you go through the hiring process, please keep in mind that hiring employees is probably one of the most important activities you will undertake and should be taken very seriously with a commitment to hire the very best for Messiah University.
