Why does Indiana University no longer accept paper applications for Support Staff and Professional Staff positions?
We did not feel that the interests of IU and our departments would be well served expending resources to maintain a paper process. Below are some of the reasons for why we no longer accept paper applications: • Yahoo! Internet Life magazine’s annual survey of America’s “most wired” universities has consistently ranked Indiana University Bloomington among the highest ranked state schools. The way we work and the systems that we use are all highly computerized. IU wants employees that are comfortable in a cyber environment. • Ease of use and convenience. After applicants become familiar with our system they find it extremely convenient, because it is normally available 24/7, with no office hour restrictions. Once the application forms have been completed, applicants can apply for a number of positions with just a few mouse clicks. No copying. No postage. • Speed. The online process has considerably shortened the application review and referral time (from 5 to 10 days to 1 to 2 days). Now
