Goals for Hiring Transactions That our hiring and rehiring statistics accurately reflect school and department trends –Basis of many management decisions, including budget allocations That no new employee ever has to experience a duplicate ID situation because it is tough to fix and prevents the new employee from enrolling in their Health & Welfare benefits That all new employees feel confident that their new employer, represented by you, is competent and that their decision to work at Stanford was the right one revised 7/09 8
