Search Committees

Using a Search Committee for the Recruitment Process

All hiring for EHRA non-faculty, tenure-track and fixed-term faculty positions should be done through the use of a search committee that works closely with the department’s Equal Employment Opportunity Officer. The committee should receive a charge setting forth the expectations for the position and the search committee’s role in helping fill the position. The committee’s charge should include:

  • (1) a detailed position description with preferred and minimum qualifications;
  • (2) advertising and outreach sources for the purpose of securing applicants; and
  • (3) selection criteria that is objective and based on the position requirements.

The beginning of the search is also a good time to review the department’s workforce composition and to identify departmental needs with respect to diversity and the furtherance of equal opportunity principles.
