  • Guidelines for Office Pool Jobs
    • For Applicants:
      Office Pool assignments can be full-time or part-time and cannot exceed 90 calendar days. Once you have completed an Office Pool assignment, please contact the HR Service Center if you wish to be considered for other Office Pool assignments.
    • For Hiring Departments
      Office Pool jobs are for departments with temporary short-term office support needs. Short-term is defined as up to 90 calendar days. By recruiting office pool jobs on an on-going basis, the Human Resource Service Center offers a pool of office support applicants to fill the short-term temporary needs of requesting departments.

      Departments needing short-term office help should contact an HR Recruiter and discuss the requirements needed and the approximate time frame of the assignment. Pool positions may be assigned full-time or part-time to any one department not to exceed 90 calendar days. Should a department need an employee longer than the 90 days, a temporary position should be recruited. Pool assignments may be terminated at any time during the 90 day period.

      NOTE: The use of temporary agencies for filling of temporary positions is used only in exceptional situations and must be approved by the department of Human Resources. Contact an HR Recruiter in Human Resources.
