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.

• 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 being offered the job.
• The hiring manager must request a CBC by changing the applicant’s status to “Background Check” and sending the email notification to asu.exthr@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. 
• Refer to UW-Madison Criminal Background Check Policy
  • Criminal Background Check Policy
• Once the results from HireRight are returned asu.exthr@ohr.wisc.edu will contact the Hiring Manager with next steps.
