Hiring Your First Student Employee

Step 1: Post your job in Career Central
All student employment opportunities must be posted in Career Central. Log in to the employer portal at cmich.12twenty.com/hire and select Post a Student Employment Job. Under Industry and Job Function, choose Student Employment so the posting routes correctly to Student Employment Services for approval.



Step 2: Review applicants and make your hiring decision
Departments may review applications, conduct interviews, and select candidates according to their departmental process. Career Central allows you to view applicant materials and track hiring decisions in one place. Student Employment Services is available if guidance or resources would be helpful.

Step 3: Complete the hire in Personnel Transactions
To complete the administrative process, submit the appropriate Hire Form in Personnel Transactions. Log in to cmich.edu, navigate to My Work Day, and select Personnel Transactions.
