The Niner Talent system is used by departments to initiate faculty, staff, and student recruitments, staff reclassifications, position description updates and off-cycle increases.
Position actions include recruitments, reclassification, or position updates. In NinerTalent, an action is a record created by a user to request a position action.
An action number refers to a specific action on one position in the system, and is used to search for that particular action.
The position library contains position specific information for all established positions. This information is used to populate actions in NinerTalent.
How do I determine if my position exists in the Position Library?
In the Position Management module, click on Positions submenu SHRA, EHRA Non-Faculty, or Faculty. Search by title or position number. This will enable you to review positions in your area that meet the criteria and determine if the position is in the library.
Who submits actions through NinerTalent?

Do I still use the EHRA Non-Faculty Position Description form?
Employees and supervisors can still use the Position Description form to draft position descriptions for use when initiating staff position actions in Niner Talent. Position description information can be cut and pasted from this document into the appropriate Niner Talent fields for staff actions.
How do I reclassify a SHRA position?
To request a change in career band/level and/or classification, create a Modify action. See the appropriate Position Management User Guide for more information.
When do I need to submit an Organizational Chart?
An Organizational Chart must be attached to all staff position actions. Also, if a faculty position holds administrative duties an org chart must be attached. The organizational chart must include the system classification titles for positions and show how the position fits within the work area, who the position reports to and what position(s) report to it. This helps illustrate the level of responsibility required in the position and informs the classification process.
Can I use an old action instead of creating a new one?
No, you must create a new action. However, for actions on existing positions, much of the position information populates from the position library.
Why did my action get sent back to me?
Actions may be returned if required data or attachments are missing or incomplete. When an action is returned to you, you can check the Action History tab for specific information about what additional information you need.
How do I view a Position Description in NinerTalent?
To access a position description, go to the Position Management module, click on Positions submenu SHRA, EHRA Non-Faculty, or Faculty. Search by title or position number. Find the correct title and click the action link on the right hand side, then click view.
If you cannot find an active position number in the position library, verify the position number. Be sure when searching you remember that position numbers are six digits, so you have to include the appropriate zeros in front of the number. If it is correct, use the Create a New Position action and enter the position number in the position number field.
Faculty position description information is being added to the position library through the actions submitted in NinerTalent. If no position action has been taken on a position since July 1, 2015, the position description fields will not yet have been populated with this information. Once you take an action on the position and your action is approved, the information will be available when you next access the position library.
How do I get started in NinerTalent?
For information on getting started in NinerTalent please review the User Guides on the NinerTalent website.
Wait! I had a position posted in the old system! Can I get access to it?
Data in HRMS remains intact and accessible. If you had ongoing recruitments in the system prior to the Go Live of Niner Talent, the records and applicants who had applied remain in HRMS. Candidate material review and Hiring Proposals can still be performed in the old system. If a posting needs to be continued, it must be re-posted in Niner Talent. However, if a recruitment concluded in HRMS and you would like to begin the selection process, you may do so in the old system which can be accessed after Go Live at http://pa200.peopleadmin.com/hr/.
How do I request access to Niner Talent?
Access to Niner Talent is determined and requested through your college/division. If you have been designated by your college/division to request access for other users in your college/division, you may do so by contacting ninertalent@uncc.edu.
Are my old position descriptions already in the system?
SHRA Position Descriptions are in NinerTalent, however please review to make sure all information is accurate. EHRA Position Descriptions have historically been maintained in physical form. Our upgrade now allows for the electronic creation and maintenance of position data for EHRA Non-Faculty and faculty positions. As new positions are created, this creation will take place in the new system. On existing positions, position data will be populated during the first action performed on the position (recruitment, description update, salary adjustment, etc.).
When do I have to have all of my position descriptions into the system?
No deadline is currently set to have all position descriptions entered into the system. Priority will be initially given to reviews pending an action on a position (recruitment, description update, title change, salary adjustment, etc.).
Do we use NinerTalent for faculty and EHRA Non-Faculty positions descriptions?
Niner Talent will be used to facilitate the creation, update, and recruitment for staff, faculty, EPA Non-Faculty, and temporary positions. For positions with assigned position numbers, a position description will be required in NinerTalent in order to process requests for updates, title changes, salary adjustments and to initiate recruitments. Temporary recruitments will not require position descriptions housed in the system; however, NinerTalent will continue serve as the recruitment and selection system for temporary recruitments.
This sounds interesting. How can I get training on this upgraded system?
Training is available to users in several forms:
- Classroom Training has been designed to provide a comprehensive overview of the new features of the system and hands-on training/walkthrough of the workflows, processes, and forms included in the position creation, update, recruitment, and selection processes. Training is scheduled periodically and can be accessed for registration through the e-Learning system.
- Manuals/Documentation have been created to provide an anytime, anywhere reference for Niner Talent. These manuals will continue to be updated as modifications and enhancements are made to the Niner Talent system.
- Video Demonstrations (currently in progress) will be available for audio-visual demonstration of key processes and functionality. Videos will be accompanied by narration to offer step-by-step instructions for accomplishing common items in the system.
Please visit http://hr.charlotte.edu/ninertalent for more information.
Position actions are now entered and routed electronically for review in the NinerTalent system. Please go to the following link to access the system and begin entering the action: NinerTalent. Temporary recruitments will not require position descriptions housed in the system; however, NinerTalent will serve as the recruitment and selection system for Temporary recruitments.
Are temporary position recruitments handled through the NinerTalent? How are they different?
All temporary recruitments are posted through NinerTalent and the electronic application is the only one that should be accepted. A position description is not required for temporary position recruitments and actions will be initiated in the Applicant Tracking module of the system. Each college/division has identified employees who will review, and post temporary recruitments. Hiring proposals are also required for all temporary positions, except part-time/adjunct faculty positions, and will be routed for approvals through the college/division.
First check to make sure you are logged in under the correct User Group. Individuals who have multiple user groups will have a link on the left hand navigational bar labeled "Change User Type". Once you've changed your user type you will be able to see your positions. If you do not have a "Change User Type" option or do not have the particular group that you need, please contact ninertalent@uncc.edu
The quick link is only operational once the position has been approved through Human Resources therefore you’ll want to refrain from sending the link to your selected applicants until you’ve received the notice from the system that the position is posted.
There are really three situations where this might occur:
- The applicant has not yet completed the application process due to exiting prior to receiving a confirmation number or has not attached all required documents. The applicant would need to revisit the system and update their partial application.
- Prequalifying questions existing on the application were answered by the applicant in such a way as to move their application to the inactive status.
- HR neglected to review the applicant workflow associated with this position in order to ensure that applicant information was submitted to the department rather than to HR initially
