Selecting TAs

After students apply to your job offer, you can see their applications on the job offer page. You can get there by clicking any job offer's name from the manager portal. From this page you can reject any application or offer any student the position. If you prefer having an overview in a spreadsheet, you can download the CSV of applications by clicking 'Export applications'. This CSV also contains information about whether the student has TAed your course before. Note that this information is only accurate if your course has used any Labrador application before (i.e. TAM, Queue, Submit).

Accepting Applications Manually

The simplest way to pick out TAs is to go through the list of applications and, in combination with your own administration (e.g. previous TAs, grades), select which students you would like to offer the position to. You can do so using the 'Send Offer' button in the list of applications.

Accepting Applications in Bulk

Some people prefer to work in spreadsheets and will get out a list of TAs they want to hire that way. This workflow is supported in TAM. You can press the 'Offer Positions' button to send offers in bulk. Paste the list of NetIDs in the search box, and press search. Double check whether you would like to offer a position to everyone in the list and press 'Send Offer to All'. Note that this feature also allows you to send an offer to a student who did not apply. In case you want to make use of this, please make sure the student is aware of this.

Wrapping up the Hiring Process

After you have offered a position to all students you would like to hire, they can either accept or reject the offer, after which you can contact them. Do not reject students yet if you might still want to hire them, for example if some of the students you picked reject the offer. After you have assembled your complete team of TAs, you should reject all other offers, so they are informed they did not get the position. You can do so with the 'Reject All Open Applications' button.
