Faculty Hiring Manual
Section 4: Assessment and Selection
Following initial interviews, the search committee should compile rating sheets from each faculty member and then discuss each candidate against the rubric developed earlier. The committee should collaborate on differences in ratings to minimize any implicit biases while exemplifying mutual respect, productive engagement, and constructive dialogue. After identifying the top candidates for visits to campus, the Search Chair or other Hiring Unit administrator should move those applicants in ROCS to the “On Campus Interview” workflow and begin making arrangements for the visit.

The Rutgers University Faculty Hiring Manual is intended to support efforts in Rutgers departments, colleges/schools, and other academic units across our chancellor-led units. It outlines university policies, procedures, and best practices for identifying, selecting, and hiring exemplary future colleagues whose research, teaching, and service will advance the university's mission.
