As you may recall from previous announcements, Cal Poly Humboldt will soon be implementing the Common Human Resources System (CHRS) Recruiting, a systemwide software solution to attract, hire and onboard staff and faculty more efficiently. This is a systemwide initiative to transform all 23 CSU campuses and the Chancellor’s Office to a single HR system. Cal Poly has been working in collaboration with the CSU for the last few years. We are excited to conclude this phase of the work and begin sharing the benefits and technical components of the new software to our campus end users.

We are excited to announce that implementation will begin May 3rd. This will be a phased transition and implementation where some recruitments will be within Interfolio and others will be within CHRS Recruiting. When you participate in a recruitment, you will be provided with just-in-time training and all of the information and guides you will need. This refers to training when it’s needed rather than beforehand. Virtual office hours will be available at launch time and will continue through May. Other opportunities will become available as needed. 

Below we would like to highlight a broad overview of what to expect:

Implementation Timeline
Cal Poly Humboldt will go live with CHRS Recruiting on May 3, 2022! The initial recruitment types to use the new system include:

●      Staff & MPP

●      Executive Searches

●      Temporary Faculty Pool & Lecturers

By the Fall 2022 we will also transition the following recruitment types to CHRS Recruiting:

●      Temporary Coaches, Counselors, and Librarians

●      Visiting Professors

●      Probationary Faculty Positions

Note: We will not be transitioning student recruitment to this system at this time.

Training & Processes
The Department of Human Resources and Academic Personnel Services are finalizing details on training for staff and MPP recruitments.  More information about training and modified recruitment processes are forthcoming.

Benefits of CHRS Recruiting
●      Approvals can move faster without waiting for paper forms to be routed around, thanks to electronic workflows.

●      Manual workload is decreased since data will automatically upload from PeopleSoft, rather than doing double entry.

●      Applying for a job is easier and more attractive with features such as resume parsing and application via mobile devices.

●      Information can be captured and conveniently accessible since all recruiting data can be tracked within the system, rather than using outside tools such as Google Sheets.

●      Hiring effectiveness can be improved through easy-to-understand analytics.

●      Onboarding new employees can be streamlined by using a centralized system including electronic checklists to track the onboarding process.

●      Systemwide reporting can be easier and faster thanks to a common system.
