Internal Applicant
Q: What is the "Protocol for Changing Jobs Within Tyco" and what is its purpose?
A: As a large, diversified employer, job opportunities become available every day. The Protocol or Changing Jobs outlines the steps you will need to follow if you are applying for a job elsewhere in the company. We have developed this protocol to make sure the process flows smoothly - for you, your manager, and the hiring manager.
Q: I am not sure my manager will support my pursuit of another position. Is there someone else I can talk to?
A: Talk to your Divisional Human Resources Manager. Tyco invests significant effort and resources in succession planning and the development of our employees. Limiting career growth runs counter to these efforts.
However, your manager may not feel you are ready for the next step. If that's the case, find out what you need to do to qualify for the next position.
A: The hiring manager is responsible for reimbursing travel expenses incurred for an interview.
A: Payment of relocation costs depends on the Company and position being advertised. Check with the hiring manager or Divisional Human Resources department for more information.
A: Offers are typically based on the salary range for the job, your current pay level, and your qualifications. The hiring manager or Human Resources department of the hiring company is responsible for communicating salary offers.
Hiring Manager
Q: What steps do I follow to list open positions on the Tyco webpage?
A: Contact your Divisional Human Resources Manager.
A: No. Tyco's philosophy is simply to hire the best candidate for the job.
A: Yes. All internal applicants should receive a response indicating their resume has been received and contact will be made if there is an interest.
Candidates who interview for a position and are not selected should receive feedback, including a brief explanation, ie, specific experiences, accomplishments, education, or qualities that established the selected applicant as the best possible candidate. Please contact your Divisional Human Resources Manager for guidance on the appropriate response.
Q: What if the employee's current manager offers the applicant another position within the same company before or, at the same time, I extend an offer to the applicant?
A: In most cases, both offers should be extended. It should be up to the applicant to make the best choice for his or her career goals.
Q: What if the applicant's manager asks me not to interview the employee or extend an offer at this time?
A: There may be extraordinary circumstances when it would be in Tyco's overall best interest for the employee to continue his or her career advancement within the current business. In such cases, it is important to carefully weigh the business impact, the employee's career goals and our desire to retain talented employees within Tyco before moving forward.
A: We recommend from 30 to 60 days, depending on the scope of the position and the needs of the business for the current and new positions. To ensure a smooth, timely transition, do not hesitate to enlist the help of your Human Resources department.
Q: I know of an employee in another Tyco division that I'd like to interview. He/she has not applied for this position, how do I go about initiating a discussion?
A: First contact the employee's current manager to discuss your opportunity and your desire to speak about it with the employee. You may also want to enlist the support of your Human Resources manager to avoid potential problems.
