When you want to hire a graduating hourly student employee whose job is more administrative in nature, follow the steps below to transition them from Student Hourly to Temporary University Staff. The HR website recommends a 3-month leeway for these transitions.

  1. Go to the Position Management Portal in Avature, (switch to request/manage Temp Staff Positions). https://colorado.avature.net/positions
     
  2. There, you can fill in all the position details, including a brief job summary, job duties, the requested minimum qualifications, and the hourly rate of pay.  You may also include your identified candidate, and if it is a student to temp conversion.
     
  3. Once the HR Temporary Compensation Consultant receives it, they will classify, price, and approve it, then route it to their TA (recruiter) team for any posting requirements, offer letters, etc.
