Summary Finding the right candidate for administrative, professional, and faculty positions is one of the most important tasks that any institution or enterprise undertakes. However, few higher education professionals receive training on the search committee process, but are expected to serve or lead committees. This guide covers the complete cycle of hiring, starting with defining the position and forming and briefing the committee, through cultivating a rich and diverse pool of candidates and screening and evaluating candidates, to making the selection, successfully completing the search, and welcoming colleagues to campus; and includes: An expert step-by-step search model ; Dozens of templates, sample tools, and a bank of interview questions ; Diversity recruitment and selection protocols and techniques ; A resource guide with advice, case studies, examples, and training materials.
