Please do not contact the hiring department directly. All applications must be routed through the Office of Human Resources and submitted to the hiring manager through the electronic application system.

The advantages of an electronic application system benefit both applicants and hiring departments. The electronic application system provides more search options for applicants, more timely updates to job postings, and the ability to apply for additional jobs without having to submit a new application.

In addition, applications to Job Openings can be processed in a more expedited fashion and the hiring departments can more efficiently screen applicants to fill positions.

When you upload a resume, the electronic application system attempts to populate the online application based on information in your resume. If your resume uploads successfully, your information will populate the application as best as it can and then attach your resume to the application.

If your resume does not populate the online application successfully, you will receive a message indicating your resume could not be parsed and you will need to complete and submit the online application.

Once you apply, you will receive an email confirming submission of your application. All applications are reviewed and screened against position qualifications. If your application meets the position qualifications, it will be forwarded to the hiring manager for review. Hiring managers will contact candidates who best meet the position requirements. Please understand that the review process takes time.

Please read our Troubleshooting Q&A. If you have not found your answer there, contact the FASIS Help Desk during business hours via email at fasishelp@northwestern.edu  or phone (847)467-4800.

Exempt positions have monthly salaries and are exempt for the overtime provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act. Non-exempt positions have an hourly rate of pay and are paid the overtime rate for hours worked in excess of 40 per week.

Many departments do not include a salary range for open positions. The department will address the compensation for the position during the interview and offer process.

Job postings are updated daily with the addition of new positions and the removal of filled positions.

If a position is on the website, it is still open and the hiring manager is seeking candidates.

No. Postings are removed once a job has been filled.

Once you have submitted an application, you will not be able to change the information. The only information that can be changed is information in your profile (for external applicants), such as Address, Email Address, and Phone Number.

If you have already submitted an application, the information you entered will populate your new application so you do not have to re enter the same information every time you apply.

If you upload a new resume, the application will populate based on the information in your new resume.

The recruitment process takes an average of 90 days for exempt positions and 60 days for non-exempt positions.
