Recruit Team Earns 2010 Sautter ‘Gold’ Award

Sautter Award

Sautter Award

The annual Larry L. Sautter Awards for IT innovation were presented at the 2010 University of California Computing Support Conference at UCLA.  Ten UC teams received awards, and among three receiving top honors was the team that developed AP Recruit for multi-campus use.

AP Recruit is a web-based system for managing the recruitment of academic personnel.  Recruit was originally launched at UCI in 2006 after 3 years of development.  (See prior articles).  In October 2009, UC Irvine and UC San Diego jointly launched the AP Recruit web application for use at the San Diego campus.  The collaboration transformed UC Irvine’s campus-tailored AP Recruit system into a multi-campus software service in 6 months. Going forward, other campuses will benefit from the new Recruit enhancements.

The multi-campus AP Recruit product uses current software technologies yielding efficiencies within established business processes in academic personnel recruiting, particularly needed in this era of budgetary challenges.

More details on the collaboration can be found in the Sautter Award application.  More information on Recruit can be found at the Recruit web site.

Computing Services Conference

The University of California held an annual conference for computing support staff which rotates from campus to campus each year. Hundreds of IT staff gather each year to share problems and solutions.

The 2003 UCCSC conference was held at UCI from August 3-5. The program comprises over 40 technical presentations from staff throughout the UC system. This is a unique opportunity to learn from others, make valuable connections to people in similar roles, and solve problems together.

The keynote speaker was Dr. Larry Smarr, Director of Cal(IT)2. Dr. Smarr spoke on large-scale network initiatives which will have a major impact on the University.
