How do I hire a student worker in my department?

All student recruiting is done through Handshake, our job board. To set up your account, you may register as an employer at Marian University On Campus Employment, and begin posting jobs. More information can be found on the on-campus employment page.
I've hired a student worker - what about the cleared to work process?
After you have posted a position on Handshake and interviewed candidates, you must indicate to The Exchange that you have hired the student employees so we can prompt the cleared-to-work process. Engage the following steps:
- Mark the student(s) "hired" in Handshake. A daily communication will be sent to Human Resources notifying them of the students hired. Note that students must apply for a position on Handshake to be considered for campus employment.
- Instruct your new hires to wait for an email communication from The Exchange on their next steps. This communication will tell the student WHEN to go to HR to start the documentation process. The student(s) should not visit HR until notified to do so. Human Resources will review the needs for each individual student. Once cleared by HR, student(s) will receive notification. There are NO cleared-to-work cards issued by The Exchange.
- Do not allow your student employees to begin work until they present a clearance card with a signature from HR as evidence of their completed hiring paperwork. Students will receive instructions from human resources regarding online hour tracking and setting up their ADP account.
