5. Hireserve Hiring Manager Portal guidance

   The HR team have introduced a Hiring Manager Portal, available within our recruitment system – Hireserve. This will streamline the recruitment process and give Hiring Managers end-to-end control and visibility of their vacancies in one place, from initial request to advertise, shortlisting, inviting candidates to interview through to making an offer to your preferred candidate.

6. Interviews

   The main goal of the interview is to establish information on the candidate’s capability to successfully perform the duties of the role and ensure the best person is hired.

7. Offers and pre-employment checks

   Following interviews, the successful candidate should be contacted verbally to confirm the outcome of the interview and confirm that a formal offer will be issued by the HR department.

8. Job descriptions and person specifications

   A job description and person specification is required for all roles within LJMU.

9. Establishing a vacancy and vacancy approval

   A vacancy may arise for a number of reasons, such as staff resignation, retirement or a new post (either temporary or permanent) may be required due to taking on new projects or responsibilities.
