Video Resources for Onboarding Activities

Welcome to the AU Family! After accepting a job offer from Auburn University, it is important that you complete several pre-onboarding tasks. This will help ensure that your hiring process is smooth and efficient.

Step 1: Pre-Onboarding Survey

In order to ensure that your onboarding experience is tailored to your specific needs, the Onboarding team would like to learn a bit more about how you will be transitioning into your new role. The onboarding survey is designed to assess how onboarding can serve you best.

Step 2: Connecting with Your Onboarding Specialist

One of the primary functions of Auburn University’s Onboarding Center is to assist new employees through the onboarding process.

Once a candidate has been selected and their hiring proposal has been finalized, a new employee will be assigned to an Onboarding Specialist. The respective specialist will be responsible for facilitating actions that are needed by the employee to complete basic University new hire processes.

Step 3: Notification of Your Onboarding Activities

The new hire onboarding process is facilitated by an electronic system, ICIMS. Once you have accepted and signed your offer letter for your new position with Auburn University, you will receive an email (to the email address linked to your online application) from onboard@auburn.edu. (Check your spam/junk folders if you can’t find the email). This correspondence will direct you in completing some initial onboarding tasks as well as logging in to the system to address all subsequent tasks.

If you are unable to login to the ICIMS using the direct link provided in the email correspondence, you are encouraged to visit the ICIMS Onboarding portal. You will be prompted to use your applicant login credentials to access the site.

Step 4: Onboarding Center Appointment

Prior to your visit to the Auburn University Onboarding Center, you are encouraged to review the Onboarding Overview.

You may schedule an appointment by contacting the Onboarding Center at 334-844-1763 or by visiting this scheduling website.

Please note that original documents are needed for this appointment. Visit the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services website to review a list of acceptable documents.
