If you are considering various ways to manage your college or university’s faculty hiring practices and data reporting, you’ll want to see this free technology selection guide from Interfolio. In it, you’ll find specific pointers on what to look for in academic technology intended to manage faculty hiring.

The guide covers technical considerations like:

  • Distinct features for committee members, committee chairs, and department staff that support hiring by colleagues
  • Administrative features for faculty affairs directors and deans to maintain well-documented, equitable, transparent processes
  • Smart treatment of data collection for diversity and EEO officers that both gain comprehensive demographic data and protect applicants’ privacy
  • Giving applicants a well-lighted, simple path to present themselves well
  • Assessing the effectiveness of different job advertising channels
  • Other key functional considerations you should ask of any system to handle academic hiring or recruitment
How does Interfolio know all this?
