Hiring Employees
Making an Offer
Once a candidate is selected, follow your agency’s procedures to secure all necessary approvals and make an offer of employment.

supervisor self service.

Onboarding and Mobility
Surveys
After beginning commonwealth employment, employees will receive an employee mobility survey. This is in addition to the onboarding surveys they will receive throughout their first year of employment.
You should encourage survey participation and regularly review the data collected through these surveys. HR professionals with the employee mobility role in Oracle have access to the survey data collected. To gain access to this role, please use the
HRISD Authorization Request Form and request access to the “Employee Mobility/Hiring Process Survey Reporting Views.”
Here is a list of views to access the onboarding survey data via Microsoft Access:
- Employee 30-day survey: PPI_ONBRD_EMPORIEN_VW
- Supervisor 30-day survey: PPI_ONBRD_SPVRORIEN_VW
- Employee 6-month survey: PPI_ONBRD_EMPONBOARD_VW
- Supervisor 6-month survey: PPI_ONBRD_SPVRONBOARD_VW
Agencies not supported by the HR Service Center may still need these documents for their orientation process:
