Hiring Procedures in Workday

Instructions for how Dining managers recruit and onboard new employees now that we have a new BYU HR system.

Open section menu

BYU has adjusted the service delivery model for HR and Finance services across campus. For HR, this means that many business processes previously executed on the department or area level will be moved to either self-service or BYU Human Resource Services. DESO is now merged into the HR Recruiting Office but will still primarily operate out of the University Services Building. BYU Human Resource Services now provides much of the same support that DESO provided in the past.

Dining Services worker positions are classified into three categories for purposes of recruitment and position management: full-time, part-time core support, and part-time specialized support. Read the sections below to learn more about Dining Services and Human Resources recruit and onboard new employees in these three categories.

Core Support Hiring Process (Dining Hiring Portal)

Primary Recruiter: HR Recruiting Office (assisted by HR Operations Center, area recruiting contacts, and managers)

Core support positions are:

  • Part-time positions whose recruitment has historically been managed using the Dining Hiring Portal (hiring.byu.edu) and assisted by DESO
  • Positions where the manager of the position doesn't need to conduct the interview personally.
  • ~95% of Dining part-time positions.

Part-Time Core Support Hiring Process

  1. Managers communicate staffing needs to the Recruiting Office (DESO) through open shifts on their master schedule in WhenToWork.
  2. Recruiting Office posts job requisitions for Dining core support positions on the Workday Jobs Hub. This has replaced Y-Jobs.
  3. Student applicants view the jobs posted in Workday but use the link in the job requisition to apply on the Dining Hiring Portal (hiring.byu.edu) application. PT Staff applicants need to apply both places.
  4. Recruiting Office are responsible for steps 1-4 on the DHP application (reviewing the application, offering the schedule and area, etc.). This follows the same process as before. Area recruiting contacts and managers are invited to assist in these efforts as they are able.
  5. Recruiting Office sends a “Next Steps” email to the new hire communicating their schedule and next steps in the onboarding process (DHP Step 5), cc’ing the manager, area recruiting contact, and HR Ops Center. This is the handoff point of the new hire from the Recruiting Office to the HR Ops Center (new consolidated employment office located where Student Employment was). This email also includes instructions for scheduling the area orientation with the area recruiting contact.
  6. HR Ops Center will initiate the Workday Direct Hire for applicants in the Dining Hiring Portal. It will be a couple of days before a couple of students from DESO are transferred to the HR Ops Center with access to the hiring portal, so we need department managers to help out with this for the 51 new Winter hires not processed yet.
  7. Completion of onboarding tasks start. Managers of new hires will receive the Onboarding Setup task in Workday before their employee can start their onboarding task (logging into Workday, completing their I-9, etc.).
  8. Once the hire is finalized, Ops Center can add additional jobs to the employee if they will be working more than one position (DHP steps 8-9).
  9. Area Recruiting Contacts check off orientation completion in the Dining Hiring Portal (DHP step 10).

Core Support - Dining Hiring Portal Steps

Additional notes on each step on the hiring process on the portal.

Hiring Portal Steps

StepResponsibleNotes
1. Applicant Reviewed (Student)HR Recruiting Office*
  • Student applicants only need to submit the Dining Hiring Portal application.

5. Next StepsHR Recruiting Office
  • Recruiting office sends an email to the applicant summarizing schedule, position details, and steps the applicant needs to follow to complete the hiring process.
  • Once the email is sent, the application is handed off to the HR Operations Center.
6. Hire RequestedHR Operations Center
  • The Ops Center initiates the hire in Workday. If there is more than one offer position, the primary (first) position will be used.
7. Onboarding SetupManager
  • Managers are required to complete an "Onboarding Setup" task when an employee is hired in a position that reports to them. This task has to be completed in order for the employee to link their BYU accounts (if a new employee) or begin onboarding tasks (including I-9).
  • Because we anticipate this will be a bottleneck, Ops Center will monitor and follow up with managers when not completed within one business day.
8. Hire FinalizedHR Operations Center
  • Once the hire has been finalized the Ops Center will update this status on the Dining application
9. Add JobsHR Operations Center
  • In Workday, additional hire requests (Add Job) cannot be submitted until the primary hire is finalized. The ops center will request these if there are additional offer areas on the Dining application.
10. Orientation CompleteArea Recruiting Contact
  • Area recruiting contacts are responsible to make sure that the area orientation happens and check off the orientation when it is completed.

* - Area recruiting contacts and managers support steps 1-4 for student applicants as needed, especially during peak times.
