Jump to step:
1) Become familiar with COE resources on Box
a) COE-HR-All Departments Faculty Recruiting YY-YZ
Subfolders:
> Tenured & tenure-track job posting template and example - use this to create the job posting on Interfolio
> Stages of Faculty Searches - update this as the search progresses through stages to keep College leadership informed. This will require ongoing communication with the department chair and search committee chair.
b) COE-HR-[DEPT NAME] Recruiting YY-YZ
> (One subfolder per search name) - Each department and/or search chair committee may use these subfolders as they wish. Each Administrative Manager is "co-owner" of the folder for their department, and can add additional users (use discretion) and organize files as needed.
Suggested uses:
Upload recruiting documents for convenient reference that will later be included in the PAR:
PDF of the job posting from UT Austin: Faculty Careers.
This posting satisfies the EVPP requirement to include a copy of the job posting from Interfolio, and prints to PDF more easily than the version directly from Interfolio. The 5- or 6-digit number at the end of the URL for the Faculty Careers posting will be the Job ID entered into the PAR. See COE: PAR - T/TT Electronic Document Processing Guide > tab "Section 7" > "Job Posting Number".
Upload copies of the On-Campus Interview Request Memo (COE Recruiting Process, tab "Phase 2")and Hire Recommendation Summary Report (COE Recruiting Process, tab "Phase 3"), which include information needed for the Appointment Process Summary, a document included in the PAR.
Give committee members access to the subfolder for their posting, to upload applicant rubrics, interview questions, etc.
Remember that all documents on Box are subject to open records requests. Be sure all added users understand this.
