About CHRS Recruiting
As of January 2022, all 23 CSU campuses and the Chancellor’s Office have successfully transitioned to CHRS Recruiting.
Here’s a short video celebrating all the campus teams!
CHRS Recruiting helps our University to attract, hire and onboard talented faculty, staff and student workers in a more effective way. Discover the benefits of CHRS Recruiting in the video below.
CHRS Recruiting is the first piece of the Common Human Resources System (CHRS).
Recruitment, Onboarding & Analytics
- Handles all categories of recruiting: all types of faculty, administrators, staff and student workers in a secure environment
- Offers a paperless way to perform most functions within recruiting, from posting a job to onboarding new employees
- Automates workflow and integrates with the main PeopleSoft human resources system to streamline functions and increase recruitment efficiencies
- Provides valuable analytics to help campuses make informed decisions
Benefits of CHRS Recruiting
- Approvals can move faster without waiting for papers to be routed around, thanks to electronic workflow.
- Manual workload can decrease since data will automatically upload from PeopleSoft, rather than doing double entry.
- Applying for a job is easier and more attractive with features such as resume parsing and application via mobile devices.
- Onboarding new employees can be streamlined by using a centralized system including electronic checklists to track the onboarding process.
- Security and data integrity can be improved because papers are not being routed. Employees are granted access based on the roles they perform.
- Systemwide reporting can be easier and faster

The CHRS Recruiting dashboards are created to highlight quarterly recruitment metrics related to HR recruitment processes (Staff, MPP, Emergency, Student and Work Study) and some of the improvements made to the CHRS Recruiting system.
