Launch Your Career Call-to-Action

The “Launch Your Career” call to action (CTA) enables us to collect a list of visitors who express an interest in working at UW-Madison without applying for a specific position. When filling out this brief form, visitors can choose the area(s) of interest (job group) they are most interested in.

The TA team has a pipeline of “warm” or interested candidates who would welcome outreach from your team.

Request a Launch Your Career list
Step 1 Email your Talent Acquisition (TA) Specialist, who will communicate the need to an Outreach & Sourcing Specialist. Include specific candidate criteria such as a job group(s).
Step 2 An Outreach & Sourcing Specialist will compile the pipeline information and send the TA Specialist a list of potential candidates.
Step 3 The TA Specialist will send the list to the hiring unit.

Considerations for Using a Launch You Career Candidate List

The pipeline list is an option to supplement current or future recruitment efforts for a particular position or job group. The candidates on this list have not been vetted and will require contact from your division.
