Hiring an Employee, Student, Postdoc, etc

Note: New employees will be scheduled for an MGH orientation or Partners International Office Orientation as well as the Imaging New Employee Orientation (INEO). The INEO will likely be scheduled within the first month after the start date (they are usually on Wednesday mornings). The MGH orientation will coincide with the employee's first day & always occurs on Monday and half of Tuesday. Nonemployees do not go to an orientation but must see Carol Barnstead on their first day to finish up some paperwork.

Research Assistant and Technical Staff

The entire process takes approximately 4-6 weeks.

The following describes the process for hiring an RA:

• Send Dee Dee the job description so she can submit it to be posted on the MGH job posting board

  • If posting to external sites like Craigslist or Monster, add this to the post: "In addition to emailing your resume to the address above, please apply for the position at http://www.mghcareers.org and refer to job ID xxxxxx”

• Once the job is posted, the candidate must apply through that job posting (give them the job #)
• Tell Dee Dee which candidate you want to hire once s/he has applied
• Dee Dee will send their resume to HR to determine salary
• Once the candidate accepts the salary and your offer, send Dee Dee two recommendation letters from the candidate's references or your notes from contacting the references
• Once HR receives the references, they will send the CORI form to the candidate. Upon receiving the CORI form from the candidate, it will take 2 weeks to complete the background check
• The candidate will be emailed/mailed a start date which will be the next available Orientation date after the process above has been completed

After the RA/technical staff is hired:
