Hire The Right Faculty Member Every Time is a concise guide for hiring authorities at colleges and universities. The book provides insight into the state of faculty hiring at colleges and universities today, advice on the best way to design positions, recommendations on how to conduct an interview, guidelines on how to make a decision about whom to hire, perspectives on what to remember when closing the deal, and hints about providing the right kind of orientation and onboarding services to new hires.
One my greatest surprises as an academic administrator is how often little planning and thought goes into faculty hiring beyond the position advertisement and who is on the search committee. I hope more academic leaders will learn from books like this one just how complex it can be to organize, conduct, and complete a successful faculty search. -- Ralph Rogers, Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs, Nova Southeastern University
No professional decision is more important than whom we hire. Yet, time and again, academic departments get it wrong, leading to years of anguish that result from a poor match between a new hire and the institution. Jeffrey Buller cuts through the noise that too often undermines searches and provides a clarity of purpose and an executable process that will ensure a successful hire. Follow these guidelines and avoid the pitfalls of the failed search. -- Jeanne A.K. Hey, dean, College of Arts and Sciences, University of New England
Given the critical importance of attracting talented faculty in higher education, this book provides practical and helpful insights for institutional leaders that will foster increased success in the search and hiring processes. The book provides concrete suggestions that will strengthen the faculty talent pipeline and enhance organizational excellence. -- Edna B. Chun, PhD, Chief Learning Officer, HigherEd Talent
