Level 1 Background Screening (UWF)
Once a finalist has been identified for a new or vacant Executive Service, University Work Force staff, Faculty, Adjunct or OPS position and they accept their offer letter in PageUp, the following finalist paperwork becomes available in their PageUp onboarding portal. Human Resources is notified when the candidate completes these documents to begin the Level 1 screening process.
- Background Screening Request Dynamic Form
- Staff Certification (Line positions only)
- Tentative Offer Letter Templates (available in PageUp)
Human Resources will input the background screening request upon receipt. The employment candidate will receive an email from HireRight, the UWF background screening vendor, seeking consent for the screening. Please ensure the candidate responds to this email in a timely manner. Background screenings can take anywhere from three days to several weeks for completion, depending on circumstances, so please allow sufficient lead time for the process.
No official offer of employment shall be extended until the hiring department receives notification from Human Resources stating that the background screening is complete and an employment offer may be extended. A tentative offer of employment can be extended to the applicant pending the successful completion of a background screening.
- Rehires: If a former employee who has previously completed a Level 1 is rehired within one year from their termination date, a new Level 1 Background Screening will not be needed.
