Selection
Criteria
The
search and screen committee is required to develop selection criteria, based on
the qualifications and responsibilities identified in the position vacancy form.
The content and form of selection criteria will vary, depending upon the
position and the wishes of the search committee.
For example, some committees state selection criteria in a checklist
format, while others weight the criteria or put them into a 1-5 scale.
Even where a checklist is submitted, the committee may consider some
criteria as more important to a particular position than others, and thus
implicitly weight them more heavily. Selection
criteria can also be incorporated directly into an evaluation form to be used by
the committee as it reviews candidate files.
