Recruitment Efforts Form

Recruitment Efforts Form (REF) (Salmon Form L-1747)

With the exception of a few issues, this form is self-explanatory. Consult with Affirmative Action & Diversity.

The composition of the search and screen committee must be specified. Strive for gender and/or racial/ethnic diversity on the committee. If necessary, ask individuals outside the hiring unit to serve as committee members.

Generally, national searches are recommended for administrative positions at the director level and above. Regional and local searches are usually appropriate for other academic staff positions (including instructional academic staff), lower level administrative appointments, part-time positions, and short-term interim appointments. Internal searches may also be appropriate for some of these searches providing there is a diverse pool of applicants for a particular position.

In identifying proposed recruitment methods, be creative. List specific newspapers and journals, personal contacts, professional associations and meetings, peer departments at specified institutions, electronic bulletin boards, etc. where you plan to advertise or personally recruit prospective applicants. In addition, Affirmative Action & Diversity is compiling a "Diversity Directory" that may assist you in identifying new recruitment venues. Call 5-8541 for assistance in attracting a diverse pool of qualified applicants.
