Administrative Decision

Reasons for Administrative Decision

All staff and faculty positions should be filled through Human Resources Open Recruitment or through the Office of Equal Opportunity Programs (EOP) Search Procedures. The use of Administrative Decision is warranted only under these circumstances:

1. Special emergency need
2. Changes in organizational structure and/or position requirement
3. When a position requires special skills, training or education, and it can not be reasonably expected that a person with such unique qualifications could be employed through Open Recruitment or EOP Search Procedures
4. Promotion of internal candidates

Administrative Decision Procedure

1. The non-faculty administrative decision process is initiated and completed using ERS (Emory Recruiting System). Log on to ERS and follow the instructions for completing the “EUV Administrative Decision” requisition template. Instructions for completing the requisition may be found here.
2. Communicate with your candidate that he or she should also go in to ERS, create a profile, and download a resume in the system but NOT apply for any particular job.
3. The Equal Opportunity Programs Office (EOP) will link the candidate to your specific requisition and review the request.
4. The request is then sent electronically to Compensation and Recruiting for approval. Hiring managers are encouraged to have a discussion with Compensation (404.727.7588) to discuss salary requirements prior to creating the requisition in ERS.
5. You will be notified when the request is approved.
6. For the purpose of this procedure, Post-doctoral Fellows and Residents are considered faculty and should be processed in that way. Please visit the Equal Opportunity Programs website for further detail.
