Course Offering and Adjunct Hiring Built to Move as Fast as the Registration Calendar
A section that needs an adjunct instructor moves through requisition, posting, screening, interview, and offer as one tracked pipeline, tied to the registration deadline that specific section is actually up against, not a generic hiring timeline overall.

Six weeks to fill a section, and the clock started at requisition
A department chair finds out a section is unstaffed six weeks before the term starts, and from that point the clock on posting, screening, interviewing, and getting a signed offer back runs against the registration calendar, not a generic hiring timeline. A search routine for a tenure-track line becomes a race when the section must open on schedule and students are already registering into it.
Course Offering & Adjunct Hiring Management System tracks a staffing gap as a pipeline: requisition approval, posting, application screening, interview scheduling, and offer approval, all tied to the specific section, term, and deadline it needs to fill, not a generic job opening in a queue. Chair and dean approval routes automatically so a posting goes live without a manual chase, and screening notes and interview feedback from every committee member live on the same candidate record.
A signed offer hands off the candidate's information to onboarding, payroll, and access provisioning automatically, and every open requisition shows time-to-fill against the section's actual start date, not a generic average, so a chair sees which sections are genuinely at risk before add-drop exposes it.
What breaks when adjunct hiring runs on a general recruiting process
No link to the registration deadline
A hiring process moves at its own pace, disconnected from the date the section actually needs to open.
Requisition approval and posting are separate steps
A chair waits on sign-off before a posting even goes up, adding days a six-week window does not have.
Screening and interview feedback scatter across email
Committee members' notes on a candidate live in separate inboxes instead of one file.
Onboarding starts from scratch after the offer
A signed offer does not automatically hand off what onboarding, payroll, and access provisioning need.
Six modules. Built to fill a section before the registration deadline it is tied to.
Every module ships with default forms, routing, and dashboards. Configure each one to match your adjunct hiring process.
Requisition tied to the unstaffed section
A staffing request carries the specific section, term, and registration deadline it is tied to, not just a generic job opening.
Requisition and posting approval
Chair and dean approval routes automatically as soon as the requisition is submitted, so a posting goes live without a manual chase.
Application screening and committee feedback
Screening notes and interview feedback from every committee member live on the same candidate record.
Offer approval
A final offer routes for the sign-off it needs before it goes out, with terms attached to the record.
Onboarding handoff
A signed offer hands off the candidate's information to onboarding, payroll, and access provisioning automatically.
Time-to-fill dashboard against the deadline
Every open requisition shows time-to-fill against the section's actual start date, not a generic average.
From request to system of record in four steps
Submit
A staffing gap is logged as a requisition with the section, term, and registration deadline attached.
Review
Approval triggers posting, screening starts as applications arrive, and committee members log interview feedback against the same candidate file.
Approve
A signed offer is approved, with its terms recorded against the candidate record.
Record
The offer hands off to onboarding, routing the terms and the candidate's information straight through as one tracked pipeline.

Connects to your HR and SIS systems; Workday or Banner stays the system of record
Kissflow does not replace Workday or your HR system as the employment record. It is where the staffing gap, the hiring pipeline, and the offer approval get tracked against the section's actual deadline, before onboarding hands off to HR.

Get SupportNo. Workday or your HR system remains the system of record for employment. Kissflow tracks the staffing gap, the hiring pipeline, and the offer approval against the section deadline, then hands off to HR for onboarding.
Faculty Hiring & Credentialing Management System is the broader search process with a specific credential verification gate, confirming a terminal degree or license before an offer goes out. This app is scoped tighter, to filling an adjunct staffing gap tied to a specific unstaffed section on a registration deadline.
A section identified as unstaffed for an upcoming term, with the registration deadline it needs to be filled against attached to the requisition.
Every stage, posting, screening, interview, offer, tracks against the section actual start date, and the time-to-fill dashboard flags a requisition at risk of missing it.
