We’re excited to have you join our IU Dining team, and as part of the hiring process, we need to complete Form I-9. Federal law requires the completion of Form I-9 in order for both US citizens and non-citizens to work in the United States at Indiana University. To complete Section 2 of Form I-9, our hiring managers are required to review original documents from the list below.
You may bring any acceptable combination of documents from the list for us to review provided the documents are not expired. We cannot accept photocopies or scans of your documents, you must bring original documents. So if you’re interested in joining our team, please ensure you bring original documents from home to present to our hiring team!
Q: I’m having trouble submitting my application. Who can help?
A: If you’re having trouble submitting your application, please call 812-856-1938 or send an email to pariking@iu.edu to connect with our employment consultant Paris King.
Q: How can I check the status of my job application?
A: To see a list of all jobs that you have applied to, including the application status for each job:
Current IU employees: Visit your Employee Center at one.iu.edu. Click the Careers tile. Within the My Job Applications page, you will see a complete list of the jobs to which you applied, as well as the most current application status.
Non-IU employees: Visit the Jobs at IU career site via Jobs.iu.edu, and click “Browse Staff Jobs”, then sign in to your account. Within the My Job Applications page, you will see a complete list of the jobs to which you applied, as well as the most current application status.
Q: How old do I have to be to work for IU Dining?
A: You must be at least 16 years old to work for IU Dining.
Q: If I’m hired how soon can I expect to start work?
A: Employment with Indiana University is contingent on meeting employment eligibility requirements and passing a criminal background check. Background checks are required for all staff and part-time new hires and rehires who have not had a background check in the previous 12 months. Units submit an electronic background check invitation using the HireRight system. HireRight creates a criminal background check report. The average time that it will take HireRight to complete the report is 1 to 3 business days, although it may take longer depending on factors such as where the applicant has lived, and whether the background check requires adjudication if any SSN validation issues, convictions, sex offender registry findings, or any other records are returned. You can expect to start work after you have successfully passed a criminal background check and completed the other parts of the hiring process, including form I-9 to verify employment eligibility.
With the understanding that the length of the hiring process may vary considerably given background check processing and employment eligibility considerations, it is always our goal to move applicants through the hiring process as quickly as possible. We are excited to have you join our team, and we’ll do our best to make that happen sooner rather than later.
Q: How long will my onboarding/orientation process be?
A: The duration of the orientation/onboarding process depends on the type of position involved. For instance, a management position will have a longer onboarding period than an entry level cook.
Basic orientation/onboarding for any position will be a minimum of two weeks as the applicant completes required E Trainings and mandatory on-site training to prepare them for their new job. Outside of an employee’s initial onboarding/orientation, IU Dining provides on-going training and professional development opportunities.

Q: What types of documents can I upload, and how do I upload them?
A: Typically, candidates will upload a resume and cover letter, although this is not necessary to complete the application. You also have the option to add supplemental materials. It is very helpful for our hiring team in matching your availability to a dining location if you attach a copy of your class schedule.
Simply browse your system for the document, upload the document, and click "Done" to save the upload.
Q: Once I apply to a position, how long might it take for someone at IU to contact me?
A: An IU Dining hiring manager will contact you within five business days of your application being submitted.
Q: Once I’m offered a job, is there anything I can do to expedite the hiring process?
A: Yes! You will need to have appropriate original documents on hand to complete form I-9. Make sure you have these documents in advance of your meeting with a location hiring manager.
Background checks are required for all staff and part-time new hires and rehires who have not had a background check in the previous 12 months. Units submit an electronic background check invitation using the HireRight system. After your meeting with a hiring manager, you will receive an email from HireRight with instructions on how to submit information for the background check. The sooner you complete this step, the sooner we can move forward with the hiring process.
