Search Committee Workshop Nuts and Bolts of the Search Process September 21 & 23, 2015

Dean/Dept. Chair Preparation Establish a Search Committee –Membership; interdisciplinary; diverse; senior & junior faculty; staff representation Prepare position advertisement –Send to Bev Be clear on Search Committee’s role: –Identify candidates –Coordinate on-campus interview process –Make hiring recommendation to appropriate Unit Head Faculty Administration will post to the Loyola career website : –HERC & Inside Higher Ed –Post other ads in discipline-specific venues

Dean/Dept. Chair Prep cont. Establish a system for managing Search Committee (SC) records – On-line applications—all candidates must complete this – Use & keep Screening Rubric for all applicants – Nominations – References & letters

Dean/Dept. Chair Prep cont. Loyola will place an omnibus print ad in the Chronicle of Higher Education (December issue) for ALL available faculty positions Purpose: to insure compliance with USCIS/Department of Homeland Security regulations (becomes important if an international citizen is hired for a position) Contact your Dean's office/budget manager first when seeking approval for additional job postings All recruiting materials must carry new EO/AA tagline…applications from women, minorities, veterans, and persons with disabilities are especially encouraged.

Omnibus Ad

Role and Responsibilities of the Search Committee Chair Respond to applicant inquiries Recruit for diverse candidates Establish a system for managing SC records Facilitate committee activities Identify candidates Coordinate on-campus interview process Make hiring recommendations to Unit Head

Applicant Inquiries All applicants must apply electronically: –Basic personal information –CV, teaching/research statement, letter of interest –Names and contact information for 3 professional references Optional items sent to Search Chair: –Samples of publications

Evaluating the Applicant Pool Access applications through –Committee Chair direct access –Committee members, access code and password ALL candidates must apply electronically: ‒CV, teaching/research statement, letter of interest, pubs Three letters of reference –Either all at once, or when committee requests Committee members complete Screening Rubric for ALL candidates

Sample Applicant Screening Rubric Applicant Name: VariablesRatingComments Quality of Cover Letter Appropriateness of Educational Background Teaching Record Evidence of Research and Publications Administrative Experience Evidence of Commitment to Diversity and Social Justice Evidence of Advising, Mentoring, and Research Direction OVERALL RATING (1 = very weak to 5 = very strong) Rating Scale: 1= Not addressed in application 2= Little or weak evidence in application 3= Satisfactory evidence in application 4= Above average evidence in application 5= Outstanding evidence in application

Evaluating the Applicant Pool, cont. To narrow the pool, consider a simple rating system, such as… –1 = Definitely NO, 2 = Maybe, 3 = Definitely YES Benefits of quantitative rating include: –Enhancing objectivity –Ensuring all Committee members have a voice Consider re-examining the CV’s of strong diverse candidates – Social science research shows that women & men negotiate and self-promote differently

3 Finalists to Campus Dean must approve candidates for the campus visit ‒Candidate materials: cover letter, CV, Evaluation Tool summary, committee’s rationale Candidate Preparation ‒Send each finalist the link to “Transformative Education” ‒Be ready to discuss/write how he/she would be able to contribute if hired Recruitment costs are covered by Dean’s office ‒Contact your Dean's office/budget manager first when seeking approval for campus interview expenses Know the procedures for travel expenses & reimbursement, so you can advise candidate

Interview Do’s and Don’ts Make sure everyone interviewing is aware of: –The “do's and don'ts” of interviewing –What constitutes fair and legal pre-employment inquiries. –All inquiries, whether on forms, during interviews, or when requesting information concerning applicants, must comply with Federal and State law

On Campus Interviews Before each candidate arrives... Assign a host & make travel arrangements easy The host collects the candidate and makes sure he/she arrives at each meeting on time Strive for balance in the interview schedule – Engage in mutually beneficial dialogue – Vary the intensity of activities so candidate can perform best

A Standard Campus Visit: 1.5 Days As appropriate to the School/College, the schedule includes: –Time with search committee –Interview with Dean –Interview with Department Chair (if applicable) –Meetings with faculty –Research presentation (TT only) –Teaching demonstration –Lunch and/or dinner, usually with small group –Meeting with students, campus tour –Opportunity to meet with “affinity group” (e.g. other faculty/staff/students of color; interdisciplinary interests, such as faculty in another department/school who share similar interests in research, etc.) Remember to enhance Loyola’s reputation as a great place to work!

During & After Campus Visit Solicit written comments and/or ratings from those who met with candidates A feedback form is useful: Follow University requirements for documenting the search process and final candidate ratings Personally call or all finalists not selected as soon as the candidate selected has accepted the offer
