HR Processes and Resources

The Office of Human Resources provides access to many online tools for departments and employees to use in order to process many HR functions. Please contact our department by e-mail at hrhelp@winthrop.edu or by phone at 803/323-2273 if you need further assistance.

    The Applicant Tracking System is used for posting and hiring of new employees, currently both permanent staff and student employees. Departments review position descriptions or templates and post the opening on the employment portal. Candidates apply directly on the portal and departments are able to review the applicants and make hiring decisions all within this one system.

    To access the ATS an employee will be required to have a specific role identified in order to perform certain functions.
