SUBJECT: "SOURCE...UCSD Hiring System"
Applicant Information Session Invitation
In a continuing effort to adequately inform the UCSD community and generate attention to the importance of the information sessions regarding the UCSD new hiring system, this notice previously issued is being reissued.
The Human Resources Department is piloting a job applicant skills management system scheduled for full implementation by the first quarter of 1998. Named "SOURCE," the system uses scan and recognition technology to extract skills from job resumes and then stores the information in a database. The new system should contribute to significant operational improvements in the staff hiring process and is designed to offer greater convenience and enhanced communication to University staff seeking promotion and transfer opportunities at UCSD.
An important first phase in the implementation of "SOURCE" is providing information on its workings to the UCSD community. One of the major changes accompanying the new system is that resumes will be used instead of applications. Thus, staff will need to understand how to produce "scannable" resumes and also become knowledgeable about the registration process for "SOURCE."
Human Resources has developed a series of one hour information sessions to orientate the UCSD community about the new hiring system, including one time registration for future career openings. Members of Human Resources will be available at upcoming information sessions to explain "SOURCE" and to also review resumes. Since seating is limited, please RSVP by calling 534-2812.
