Requisition Approval

Once your requisition has been entered into UWHIRES, it needs departmental and Human Resources approval.

To get your requisition approved:

  1. Initiate the approval process by opening your requisition in UWHIRES and clicking "Edit Requisition."
  2. In the "Job Status" field, choose "Pending Approval" from the drop down menu.
  3. Click "Save."

The first person on your approver list will receive email notification that the requisition is ready for review. When the first approver approves the requisition, an email message is sent to the next approver, and so on until all approvers have approved the requisition.

Your Employment Specialist (ES) is the final approver on all requisitions and will forward the requisition to the Compensation Office when required.

Once the ES approves the requisition, the requisition will switch to the "Open and Approved" status. Your ES then posts the position to the UW employment website, where applicants can apply for the position.
