Applicants should stay alert to these recruiting sources, and then be certain to submit an official UVU application and any required supporting documents by the deadline date for any particular opening. They may also call the job hotline, 863-8185, or contact Human Resources to determine current and anticipated job openings.
HOURLY POSITIONS MAY BE FILLED
1. Informally, without a formal screening/interviewing committee.
  When this option is exercised, the position must be posted and competition ensured. To ensure compliance, the administrator will provide documentation of the hiring process to the Office of Human Resource Services upon request.
  In the event that the administrator converts the hourly position to a contract position, the hourly employee hired under this option must compete formally with the general public according to screening/interviewing procedures in order to move into the full-time contract position.
  The Office of Career Employment Services is the central recruiting point for all student hourly positions to be filled informally. Priority will be given to all on-campus positions, and job openings will be immediately posted when received. Applicants will be referred to the requesting department for interviewing and hiring. Procedural guidelines are available in the Office of Career Employment Services.
2. Formally, according to screening/interviewing procedures.
  Should a formally screened/interviewed hourly position be converted to a contract position, the hourly employee hired through the formal process may be moved into the full-time contract position without further competition.
  An hourly employee hired through the formal screening process is also eligible to compete for other contract positions advertised in-house.
  The Office of Human Resource Services is the central recruiting point for all regular hourly positions to be filled formally.
An official UVU application form is required for all non-faculty positions.
STUDENT EMPLOYMENT
Student employment is handled by the Office of Career Employment Services and individual hiring departments.
