Student Hourly - Request a Criminal Background Check
The hiring manager will work with the Administrative Services Unit (ASU) Office of Human Resources (OHR) to determine whether or not the appointment will be in a position of trust (POT). This will occur during the creation of the job requisition. ASU OHR will make the final determination regarding whether or not the appointment is a POT. If it is determined that this position requires a criminal background check (CBC) the applicant(s) will need to pass a CBC prior to being offered a job. The CBC will be conducted by ASU OHR.
Background
- If it has been determined that your position requires a criminal background check (during the job creation stage) then your applicant must pass a background check before you can send the applicant a job offer.
- The hiring manager must request a CBC by changing the applicant’s status to “Background Check” and sending the email notification to the HR Representative, asu.hr@ohr.wisc.edu.
- The Student Jobs Platform does not have any background check capabilities.
- ASU OHR will know to initiate the background check when the notification is sent.
- Background checks are processed through UW-Madison’s third party provider, HireRight.

- ASU will change the applicant's status to "Background Check Successful" and notify the hiring manager through a system notification to proceed with creating the offer if the applicant has passed the background check.
