Before You Start
Background Check Process
All candidates for staff and faculty employment are required to successfully complete a background check prior to beginning employment. We have contracted with Sterling Infosystems, Inc., who performs these services on our behalf.
Staff and Faculty new hires cannot begin until the background check process is complete. The new hire will receive an email from NoReply@sterling.app with the subject line “Required Information: Consent for Background Check – Pace University." This email will provide details about the required next steps. The questionnaire must be completed in one session and takes about 10 to 20 minutes to complete. To expedite the hiring process, please complete and submit the online form immediately.
If you have any questions regarding the completion of the electronic consent for background check, please contact Talent Acquisition at talentac@pace.edu.
New Employee Checklist
There can be lots to keep track of as you're transitioning jobs. Please use our New Employee Checklist (PDF) as a helpful guide in navigating each step of our process. Here you can find the task, timeframe of completion, and the best resource to help you with questions you have along the way.
New Hire Paperwork
Once the background check process is complete, the new hire will receive an email from noreply@saashr.com with the subject line “A New Account has been Created In PACE UNIVERSITY's Employee Self-Service Portal.” This message will be sent to the email address that was used in the Pace University application and will provide information about activating Pace employee account and details about the required completion of the electronic onboarding checklist. Please be sure to also check your junk mail folder.
If you have not received an email with this link or cannot log into the onboarding checklist, please call Pace University’s Human Resources Office at (914) 923-2730 option 1 or email talentac@pace.edu.
Federal Form I-9
As part of the University’s employment process, all employees are required to complete a Federal Form I-9 to establish eligibility to work in the United States. This form must be completed and submitted along with documents that prove identity and work authorization. View a list of acceptable documents. Those identifying documents must be brought to one of the Human Resources offices listed below before, on or within 3 days your first day of employment.
If the I-9 is not completed within the first three days of employment, you will not be allowed to continue working.
