Job Posting Policy

To ensure equitable access to student employment opportunities and provide a consistent hiring process across campus, the Student Employment Office is implementing a new Student Employment Job Posting Requirement effective August 1, 2026.

Beginning on this date, all student employment positions must be posted through Hire a Saluki (Handshake) before a student employee can be hired. Departments will be required to submit a job posting through the Student Employment website, and positions should remain posted for at least 2 weeks.

The Student Employment Office will verify that a position has been posted before processing hiring paperwork. Positions that have not been posted through Hire a Saluki will not be approved for hire.

This new requirement will:

• Ensures equal access to employment opportunities for all students.
• Provides a centralized location where students can easily search for and apply for campus jobs.
• Increases transparency and consistency in student hiring practices.
• Supports compliance with federal and state employment regulations.
• Enhances reporting and assessment of student employment outcomes.
• Reduces the risk of fraudulent or unauthorized student employment opportunities.

If you have questions or need assistance posting a position, please contact the Student Employment Office at 618.453.2391 or studentemployment@siu.edu.
