Manage faculty recruitment in the College of Business Administration
The recruitment of a faculty member begins after the college and university has approved a position for the

department. The department forms a search commitee consisting of three or four faculty members including the

department chair. One of the search committee members is selected as a chair of the committee, who takes the

lead responsibility. An advertisement for the position is written by the committee chair and approved by the

Human Reesources (HR) and Equal Emplyment Opportunity (EEO) department for compliance. The advertisement is

publicized within the university, specific discipline journals, and academic conference web sites. Candidates

are asked to submit their applications, resume, and supoorting documents such as publications. A separate file

is maintained for each applicant. Based on the received applications, the search committee will schedule a

short 30 minute meeting with each candidate in the academic conference and sell the school, the program, and

policies. Candidates have an opportunity to ask and answer questions. Interview notes about the candidate are

kept in the respective candidate’s file. Candidates will be asked to fill and submit an EEO (Race, gender,

etc., information) card directly to EEO office. They also need to send their official transcript and three

letters of recommendation before they will be considered for campus interview. The recruitment process from

the date of advertising may last for up to six months, and the candidate may update his/her application during

this time. The committee chair updates the respective candidate’s file and maintains all correspondence with

the candidate. Applications are received as word documents, correspondence in emails, and some communication

in phones jotted down as hand-written notes constitute the application files.

After a review of all the available information, the committe will shortlist six or seven candidates for

campus interview. All the faculty members in the department review the information about the selected

candidates and select three or four candidates for campus interview. Each candidate will meet with each of the

faculty member for about 30 minutes, and make a research paper and a teaching presentation to the department.

Candidates will also meet with the college dean and the provost. Based on the interaction with the candidate

and the quality of their presentations, faculty members choose the best candidate. The department chair writes

a letter to the dean recommending the selected candidate with the reasons for the selection. Candidate’s file

is also forwarded. The dean approves and forwards the recommendations (along with his own comments) to the

provost. After the provost approval (or denial), it goes back to the department. The final selection

information will then be forwarded to the HR department to proceed with HR formalities.

The department wants a system to manage documents in a convenient and simplied manner to support the faculty

recruitment process.
