Interfolio for Faculty Search and Recruitment
Getting started
For SMU users who are new to using when creating new faculty searches, please watch this that provides a step-by-step guide.
Key reminders from the video
- Enter the school/college as the unit when developing a new position. Do not enter the department as the unit.
- Add the position number as the first part of the title.
- Include an Interfolio application link in the position advertisement.
- Add the search committee chair as a “Committee Manager”.
- Add all other search committee members as “evaluators,” which will typically be the default role when you add them.
Questions to confirm with the search committee chair prior to setting up positions
- Which search criteria are required (e.g., CV, research statement, letters of recommendation)?
- Which evaluation system will be used (e.g., internal or external to Interfolio)?
- Which messaging system and/or message templates will be used?
