Human Resources

When you are on the "View All Jobs" page and you have set your preferences (see above), click "Create Job Alert". You will be asked to name and save your search. Afterward, any new postings that match your criteria will be emailed directly to you as they are posted.

If you have forgotten your user name and need to retrieve it, go to the candidate gateway, click “Sign In” and click “Forgot User Name”. From there, you will be asked to enter your email address and your user name will be sent emailed to you.

If you have forgotten your password and need to reset it, go to the candidate gateway, click “Sign In” and click “Forgot Password”. From there, you will be asked to enter your user name and provide the answer to your secret question that you provided when creating your account. An email will be sent to the email address on file. Follow the instructions in the email to reset your password.

The length of time a job posting is available varies. Each job posting will remain open for a minimum of five business days; however, the university reserves the right to take postings down at any time. We recommend checking for new jobs at least once a week so that you do not miss out on an opportunity, or creating Job Alerts for yourself.

Generally, new job postings are added each business day.

Jobs do not remain posted after the position has been filled.

Current IU Employees: If you are an employee that needs to change your name or contact information, you must do so in the Personal Details section within Employee Self Service.

Non-IU Employees: Log into your account and then click on "My Contact Information". Make your changes, and then click "Save."

Complete the application for employment by following all steps and clicking "Next". Click "Submit" once your employment application is complete and ready to be submitted.

Yes, you can quickly target your search preferences. When viewing all jobs, click on links available in the left column to narrow your criteria. To reset and view all jobs, click on "Clear Search".

Typically, candidates will upload a resume and cover letter. You will also have the option to add:

• A Portfolio (examples of work, writing skills, etc.)
• Professional References (letters of recommendation)
• A Reference List (list of references with name and contact information)
• Supplemental Materials
• Transcripts

Simply browse your system for the document, upload the document, and click "Done" to save the upload.

When uploading a document, the acceptable document uploading file types are .doc, .docx, .odt, .pdf, .rtf, and .txt.

To resolve this, try renaming the document, and ensure there aren’t any characters such as an asterisk (*) or question mark (?) inside the document or in the title of the document. 

Additionally, if you have copy and pasted from another document, the dash (-) or underscore (_) symbols may convert into an upside-down question mark. Try manually replacing any dashes or underscores in the resume.

If you are still having issues after trying this, contact IU Human Resources at  or (812) 856-1234 for assistance.

It may be necessary to convert your PDF to a .docx file. Our system is not compatible with certain elements of PDF resumes. We recommend using Adobe to convert your file if you have access to it. As a student or employee of IU you have free access to Adobe Acrobat Document Cloud. By opening your PDF file within Adobe you can easily convert the file to .docx format. 

If you do not have access to Adobe, we find that using Online Convert works just as well. 

If you are still having issues after trying this, contact IU Human Resources at  or (812) 856-1234 for assistance.

When addressing your cover letter, we recommend “Dear Hiring Committee” or “To Whom It May Concern”.

If you do not have a Social Security Number (SSN), please enter 9999 as the four digits in the appropriate answer box.

To see a list of all jobs that you have applied to, including the application status for each job:

• Current IU employees: Visit your Employee Center at one.iu.edu. Click the Careers tile. Within the My Job Applications page, you will see a complete list of the jobs to which you applied, as well as the most current application status.
• Non-IU employees: Visit the Jobs at IU career site via Jobs.iu.edu, and click “Browse Staff Jobs”, then sign in to your account. Within the My Job Applications page, you will see a complete list of the jobs to which you applied, as well as the most current application status.

There are no notices set up for supervisors to know when their employees have applied to any jobs. Only those associated with the job posting (i.e., HR, the search committee) will see applicants.

Every once in a while, the department may have a need to re-post a position. In those cases, if you have already applied for the position, there is no need for you to apply again.

This time varies from position to position, based on how long the position has been open and the hiring needs of the department. Generally, you can expect to wait up to six weeks to be contacted. In some cases, it may be sooner than that. In the meantime, you can always log into your account to view any status changes to your application.

To withdraw a submitted application for employment, log into the system and click on "My Job Applications". Click "Withdraw" to the right of the job title for which you are trying to withdraw. Click "OK" on the display page to finalize your decision to withdraw.

If you accidentally withdraw your application for employment, you will need to find the job posting and apply again, assuming the job is still allowing for applications to be submitted.

You will need to reapply to the job using the Internal Candidate Gateway (Careers tile). Once you have reapplied, you will need to withdraw your application on the external candidate gateway. If the job is no longer posted, please contact IU Human Resources at or (812) 856-1234 for assistance.

If the posting is still live on our Career Center, log into your account and go to "My Job Applications" withdraw from the posting, and then reapply for the position.

If the posting has been closed/removed from the Career Center, contact IU Human Resources at or (812) 856-1234 for assistance.

This time varies based upon how long the position has been open, the hiring needs of the department, etc. This can be discussed during the interview process.

Hiring committees are managed at a department level, and IU Human Resources does not give out contact information for the hiring committee.
