Finding the right candidate for administrative, professional and
faculty positions is one of the most important tasks that any
institution or enterprise undertakes. However, few higher education
professionals receive training on the search committee process, but
are expected to serve on or lead committees. This book provides
advice, training, and a step-by-step guide for conducting a
rigorous, thorough search. Following the expert model presented in
this book will virtually guarantee successful searches. This guide
furthermore provides advanced diversity selection techniques that
are not commonly found in many resources inside or outside of
higher education, and that have become institutional priorities in
the context of demographic changes and globalization that require
that higher education serve more diverse populations and compete
internationally. This guide covers the complete cycle of hiring,
starting with defining the position and forming and briefing the
committee, through cultivating a rich and diverse pool of
candidates and screening and evaluating candidates, to making the
selection, successfully completing the search successfully, and
welcoming colleagues to campus.This volume includes over 30
templates that are designed to be copied and used as training
handouts or as handy reference and resource materials that provide
guidance at various stages of the search process. The over two
dozen vignettes included can be used as training case studies or as
expert advice that illuminates key concepts that are helpful with
improving the quality of the search process. The guide includes: 1.
