REMINDER: Best Practices for Searches Workshops

This is a reminder that Dr. Ron Carter is holding two online workshops on best practices for searches and hiring decisions early this month. These workshops are for any faculty member, instructor, adjunct and/or department head in the Division of Academic Affairs who may be a part of a faculty search in the upcoming year, especially those who may serve as the chair. You do not need to sign up ahead of time, but keep in mind Workshop I is a prerequisite for Workshop II.

November 3rd from 1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.
Workshop I: "Elements of an External Search" (Dr. Ron Carter)
Zoom: https://tamuc.zoom.us/j/96756777060?pwd=b2QwQmpSYmxjSmdPSFJWcFRQMU5Sdz09


  *   Meeting ID: 967 5677 7060
  *   Passcode: RonCarter1
  *   Workshop I:  Elements of an External Search, explores the key elements of a proactive national faculty search process.  Ron will facilitate a discussion on how to clarify organizational needs in terms of challenges and opportunities, align stakeholders' expectations with a hiring official's and a search committee's human resource decisions, create and develop a strong slate of potential candidates, and evaluate candidates based on their measurable skills and behaviors that are critical for success in the job.

November 10th from 1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.
Workshop II: "The Elusive Notion of Fit in the Search Process" (Dr. Ron Carter)
https://tamuc.zoom.us/j/95376948820?pwd=RlVHYUNiMWNEWG55dUc5elE2MW9uQT09


  *   Meeting ID: 953 7694 8820
  *   Passcode: RonCarter2
  *   Workshop II:  The Elusive Notion of Fit in the Search Process, aims to answer one of the most common questions asked in the search process, "What are we looking for in a high-quality candidate?" Ron will break down the selection process of human resources decision-making into three main aspects: job analysis data, organizational analysis, and the elusive role of fit.  He will explore both rational and political perspectives when it comes to selecting the right candidate for the job and present a model that blends all three aspects into a dynamic process.
