This is a general discussion forum for the following learning topic: Hiring the Right Faculty for Your Institution --> Faculty Selection Post what you've learned about this topic and how you intend to apply it. Feel free to post questions and comments too. |
I appreciated the learning about the multiple-hurdle method. This method is the quickest, least expensive hiring steps early in the hiring process and saving the more time-intensive and costly steps for later. I intend on apply it in the faulty selection process. |
This section provided me with additional things to consider during the selection process. The multiple hurdle method was one of the strategies that I have found beneficial in the past. I also like to rank applicants as well as write qualitative information to use for future positions or if the 'first- choice' applicant refuses the job offer. |
At a former employer, we would have instructors conduct a "teach-back demonstration. Much like the what was cover in this lesson. The candidate would have a presentation for 10-15 minutes and faculty from the campus would be present to rate the teach-back. It was another layer of the interview process which helped in final decision of candidates. |
All the applicants that you are considering should possess the most important, deal-breaker KSAOs that are needed for the job. |
The job description and potential job candidate was very helpful to see the points that were illustrated.
|
I will start to use the multiple hurdle approach and KSAO

This has been an interesting step-wise hiring lesson that should yeild great results. |
Having a good realistic job preview will increase your retention rate |
Being honest with the candidate about the job. What you, as the director expecting from the instructor is critical—the best policy to be honest. |
Really taking the time to speak clearly about the job description and what is to be expected from the new employee is also a key area to focus on. Also, looking for personal and professional qualities that will make them ideal teachers. |
Honesty about the joys and frustrations of the position will lead to a more successuful onboarding and a better adjustment to the role. |
I love mini teaching lessons as part of the job interview. I have been doing this for years.
|
it is important to be clear as to the job requirements, type of institution and possible challenges in order to offer a clear picture and hire the right instructor.
|
I have learned to listen more than I speak in an interview. I want to get a better understanding of the applicant and their views instead of recruiting them to work for my college. I also learned to be patient and don't hire the first candidate. I am more likely to get an employee that will stick if I give a clear and honest job description.
