Hiring Faculty: How to Make Your Most Critical Decision

Faculty hiring has always been about finding the right fit: qualifications, experience, and personality.

Hiring has blossomed into an intricate process fraught with legal and policy implications.

From financial background checks to psychological testing to social media searches, receive expert guidance on creating a hiring process that conforms to legal standards and instills confidence.

During our comprehensive 90 minute seminar, you’ll review relevant legal considerations and how they impact screening procedures, the interview process and decision-making.  

You’ll also learn about relevant case studies, institutional policies and legal standards.

We present these vital topics:

• Review interview questions and discuss the legal importance of consistency and documentation through all stages of the faculty recruitment and hiring process.
• Discover which questions can expose you to a potential lawsuit or violation of ADA standards.
• Discuss the use of criminal background checks and their effectiveness in assessing future violence or risk.

• Debate the use of psychological testing, addressing relevant legal and ADA standards in both requesting completion of these tests, expertise in terms of scoring and analysis, and how the results are utilized in the hiring process.
• Explore the legality and ethics of asking similar hiring questions and applying the same screening process across the entire applicant pool.
