AP Recruit Roles
The role you are assigned in AP Recruit determines the tasks you can perform and the screens you can see.
- Recruit Administrators are the primary supporters for end-users and they will manage role assignments. Committee Chairs, Editors, and reviewers are assigned their roles on a recruitment-by-recruitment basis by the Department Analyst. Recruit Administrators are the primary supporters for all other users and have the most Admin tool access and all the access rights of the roles listed below.
- Approvers (new 14-15AY) have access to review and approve Search/Recruitment Plan, Shortlist Report and Search/Recruitment.
- Department Analysts (no reports)create the recruitments for their departments. They build search committees, view and manage all applicant files, short-list the candidates and create reports that are specific to their role.
- School/College Analysts have the same access rights as the Department Analyst but on the School/College level.
- Committee Chairs have slightly more access rights than Committee Reviewers, but not as much as an Analyst. Chairs can review non-finalized applicants and may manage applicant files (though this is generally left to the Analyst).
- Committee Editors have the same access rights as Chairs. Editors generally assist the Department Analyst in managing the applications. At UCR this role might be fulfilled by the Chair's Assistant.
- Search Committee Reviewers have viewing rights to finalized applications and may comment on the files and flag applicants.
- Equity Advisors (college/school/unit) have access to view an application for a given recruitment, department, college or school and can manage (create & view) diversity reports for a given department, college or school.
- Central AP Analysts have access to download a CSV of applicant pool and gender/ethnicity data.
- Diversity Analysts (OFSAA) have access to view an application for a given recruitment, department, college or school. They can also manage (create & view) diversity reports for a given department, college or school and can download a CSV of all diversity survey responses.
