How Cal State launched a shared-services recruitment model across 23 campuses.

Recruiting today is tough. To secure great talent, the importance of a great hiring process can’t be undersold. Traditionally, centralised hiring lends itself to agility, and makes it easy to provide a consistent candidate experience and promote a strong employer brand. But, in the world of higher education, teams often support recruitment across multiple campuses: a decentralised recruitment model. How can higher education hiring teams adopt the best bits of a centralised approach without impacting the autonomy of campus leaders?

The California State University system is composed of 23 different universities with 23 separate HR offices. After rolling out a shared instance of PageUp across all campuses, they saw an opportunity for a streamlined, ‘shared-services’ approach to attracting talent. But, what does this look like in practice?
