We know you are committed to finding the best talent available and to your own continuous professional development for excellence. It is in this spirit that the Provost expects members of faculty search teams to update their search strategies with the latest research and best practices by completing this toolbox.

This toolbox consists of seven distinct, research-derived tools aligned with each of the critical phases of the search process. Each tool will take you no longer than ten minutes to view. You may complete each tool at your own pace. You can also view the entire toolbox at once should you wish to do so.

The following tools are in your toolbox:

• Understanding the Hiring Environment
• Forming an Effective Search Committee
• Creating an Attractive Position Description
• Recruiting the Best Candidates
• Avoiding Unconscious Bias in Evaluations
• Conducting Highly Effective Interviews
• Hosting a Successful Campus Visit
