Beginning April 18, those interested in applying for a staff or academic librarian positions at Cornell will enter their information in a new employment application system, Workday Recruitment.Candidates who wish to be considered for staff (nonacademic) or librarian (RTE Faculty) positions are required to apply via Cornell Careers site. Prospective applicants can look and apply for a job by going to the Cornell Careers page and following the appropriate links. During an initial transition period, April 18 to June 5, applicants will see links on the Cornell Careers page to both the current system (for openings posted prior to April 18) and Workday (for openings posted on or after April 18).
Applicants should be aware that applicant information stored in the current system, Taleo, will not be transferred to Workday. If you do not have your application materials, resume or cover letters saved to a personal computer, a USB or external hard drive – or the cloud – you should be sure to save them to ensure continued access. After June 5, these materials will not be retrievable from Taleo.
For applicants external to Cornell, the transition process is as follows:
- Jobs posted before April 18 will remain viewable on the Cornell Careers site, and those interested can apply using existing account information. Anyone who has already applied for a position does not need to reapply for that position.
- For jobs posted on or after April 18, applicants will need to create a new user account in the Workday system and enter application information there. It will be possible to cut-and-paste information from the old system to the new system through June 5.
Internal candidates will follow the same steps for positions posted before April 18. Any applications already submitted will not be affected by the transition, even if the job is not filled by April 18. But those applying for a job posted after April 18 will need to log in to Workday, using their existing Workday log in, to complete the application process.
