We’re thrilled to release the next evolution of the applicant list in ByCommittee Faculty Search! A long time in the making, this release makes it much easier for Evaluator users on committees to get into the platform and review applicants.
We’ve kept all the same functions that the applicant list had before, but we’ve added significantly more responsive tools for filtering and saving—primarily with the committee members themselves in mind (a.k.a. Evaluator users).
We know that people with the Evaluator role in ByCommittee Faculty Search often have to review and compare lots and lots of applicants, and often can’t get through all of them in a single sitting. And when you’re looking at a long list, it might be hard to see the differences among applicants—you don’t want anyone to get lost in the shuffle, especially in this tough academic job market. Tools that assist with filtering, sorting, organizing, comparing, and reviewing applicants should be a huge boon to faculty committee members.

Got questions about the new applicant list or how to help your colleagues make the best use of it? First, ask the person at your institution who coordinates your ByCommittee Faculty Search system—they’ll have the most specific information.
