[VPAAEtal] Hiring Faculty: Best Practices for the Search Process Workshops to be offered November 3 and 10

[Academic Affairs]

Colleagues,

There are few tasks more important than the search for new faculty members. Hiring decisions directly impact the future of the department, the discipline, the college and our university, leaving little doubt regarding the significance of the roles played by the search chair and committee  So...if you haven't yet had an opportunity to attend the workshops on best practices for searches presented by Dr. Ron Carter, please consider attending via zoom next month.

Still wondering if you should attend these workshops, each 1.5 hours long? The answer is yes! Absolutely!  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.  It will be especially useful for those of you who might chair a search committee, but equally important if you are a member of a search committee, or may soon be.

As a reminder, you do not need to sign up ahead of time, but to attend Workshop II, it is most helpful if you attend the first one.

November 3  -  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 10  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.

Please contact Ginny Haight (extension 8787) in the Provost Office with any questions.

I hope you can join!
