HR eRequest
The HR eRequest process in the Georgetown Management System (GMS) offers managers and department administrators (DAs) a streamlined process to initiate, monitor and complete staffing requests for administrative positions, using a single access point in GMS. The HR eRequest process does not currently include faculty and student worker transactions. These are handled through separate processes. Please refer to your campus page for further information.
How It Works
How to Submit an HR eRequest
Managers and department administrators (DAs) can submit an HR eRequest for a wide range of requests for administrative employees and positions. It is important for initiators to familiarize themselves with the types of staffing requests supported by this process. Definitions for the key request types can be found below. Each request type has a unique set of questions that will be completed. You can use the HR eRequest Questionnaire Guide to review these questions and help you prepare for submitting your HR eRequest. Follow the steps below:
- Determine which type of staffing request you would like to submit.
- Review the questions you will need to answer to successfully submit your HR eRequest.
- Submit your HR eRequest.
