Temporary Staffing
Temporary Staffing Options
For OHIO departments needing temporary staff, a variety of options exists to meet an array of needs. Whether your department needs someone tomorrow or needs control over a specific search, our processes are here to help your department succeed. For more information regarding temporary, term, intermittent, and regular appointments, please refer to policy 40.106.
OHIO Business Service Center
There are a number of ways a planning unit or department may partner with us. The OHIO BSC works in the following areas: Purchasing and Travel, Employment Coordination, Administrative Financial Operations and Budget Planning and Analysis.
If you have a need for these services due to attrition or simply embrace new technology, and you are interested in gaining additional support and efficiencies by expert staff, please reach out at any time to Heather Krugman (krugman@ohio.edu) to discuss.
Once contacted, the OHIO BSC works with you to determine what services might be appropriate and how best to handle the transition. During a discovery phase, we work together to analyze your needs, understand the existing levels of transactions, discuss the current staffing model, and determine how best to integrate new technology to make the process more transparent and efficient.
Search Via PeopleAdmin
As with regular, intermittent and other position types, all OHIO departments also have the ability to conduct searches for temporary positions (less than 120 days) and term positions (120 days – 3 years) through our applicant tracking system, PeopleAdmin. Doing so follows the same process as other searches including having a position description vetted by Compensation, posting a search through PeopleAdmin, reviewing and screening applicants, and submitting a hiring proposal.
For more information, contact your departmental hiring manager or your HR Business Partner.
Ideal when…you have a unique need and would like full control over the search and hiring processes.

Requesting Systems Access for Temporary Staff
Contingent workers are eligible for Guest Access through OIT, including an OHIO email address; additional information is available via the OIT Guest Access Options website.
Contingent workers who specifically need access to JET and/or the Oracle EBIZ Suite must have an assignment record created by University Human Resources in order to request systems access through OIT. To submit the record and access request, please complete the online request form. Please note: if you are requesting a contingent worker assignment record, OIT will automatically provision an OHIO ID and email as is done for all standard employees. If you are requesting a contingent assignment record for someone who already has guest access through OIT, that guest user information must be provided in the request form.
