Recruitment: Best Practices for Applicant Assessment
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Dr. Sahar Rooholamini (Pediatrics; Assistant Dean for Faculty Recruitment and Retention) continues her discussion on recruitment by diving into applicant assessments. Start with a rubric that uses clear, uniform criteria in a handful of domains agreed upon by the search committee. Dr. Rooholamini delineates the differences between policies at UW and emphasizes compliance with Executive Order 81 (EO81) in search practices when assessing applicants' potential contributions. Finally, she provides examples of prompts from the UW employment checklist to assess diversity statements from candidates.
