How do I submit a cover letter?
Log in to your account/ profile and click on the “My Activities” tab of your profile/application. Click on “Add Attachment” to upload your attachment.
Can I update my resume and/or application once it has been submitted?
Once you have submitted a resume and application, you will not be able to change them. The only information which can be changed is the information in your profile such as address, email address, and phone number. You can however, withdraw from the job and re-apply with your updated resume/information.
How do I find out the status of my application?
You will receive an acknowledgement email when you have successfully submitted your application. You will be contacted by a talent acquisition consultant if your skills are a match for the job and the hiring process generally takes 1-3 months.
Why does DePaul University require candidates to apply to positions online?
The online application process provides candidates with an opportunity to apply to multiple positions as well as provides assurance that your qualifications were received. It further allows the Talent Acquisition Consultant and the hiring manager an opportunity to evaluate your qualifications in an accelerated manner, which helps to move applicants through the screening process in a timely manner.
Typically how long is the recruitment and selection process?
Our recruitment and selection process is based upon how quickly qualified applicants move through the screening and selection process. On average, positions are filled between 1-3 months. Candidates will be notified once a final decision has been made.
What types of background checks are conducted?
Standard background checks for staff positions include criminal checks, social security traces, reference checks and education verifications. A credit check or a motor vehicle record check may be required if deemed relevant for the position. “Safety sensitive positions” such as Public Safety Officers require a standard background check for staff plus a drug screen and fingerprint screening.
