New job system coming August 18, 2025
The University of Washington is switching to a new job application system: Workday Recruiting. This change will improve how you apply for staff jobs at UW.
Key dates and what to expect
Now through August 11 at 5:00 p.m. PDT
You can continue to apply for jobs in our current system (UWHIRES).
August 11 at 5 p.m. to August 18 at 2:00 p.m. PDT
You won’t be able to log-in, search or apply for UW staff jobs while we transition from UWHIRES to Workday Recruiting as our applicant tracking system.
August 18 at 2:00 p.m. PDT
Workday Recruiting goes live. All applicants will need to create a new Workday account to apply for jobs.
What happens to applications in progress?
If you applied to a job that is still open as of August 11 at 5 p.m., you’ll receive an email on August 18 with a link to create your Workday Recruiting account. That link will allow you to view and track your in-progress application in the new system.
Applications for jobs that filled before August 11 at 5 p.m. will not be transferred. You won’t see those applications in the new system.
For current UW employees
Starting August 18, staff will apply for jobs through the new Jobs Hub in Workday.
Thank you for your patience as we transition to Workday Recruiting. We appreciate your support as we work to make applying for staff roles at the UW easier and more efficient.
