What is the cost of a bad hire, or a failed search?


SearchCommittees.com is a website dedicated to improving the search committee process in colleges and universities around the world. I have spent the last 15 years trying to improve the art of the process wherein faculty and staff members come together to select their future colleagues as a part of a hiring committee.

I am the author of an award-winning publication on the subject that is in use at hundreds of colleges and universities, I wrote a guest feature in the 2nd edition of the seminal work in the field, and I have partnered with the authors of the newest publication on the subject. All in all, SearchCommittes.com was designed to be the definitive resource for supporting the search committee process by bringing together everything you will ever need to manage a professional search.

With the assistance of this site, you are virtually guaranteed a great outcome--the best possible hire for you college or university. Save time, save money, and avoid the possibility of a failed search or bad hire by using this state-of-the-art website to assist you in hiring the best qualified and most diverse faculty and staff who fit the culture of your institution. Learn how inside.

Thank you for viewing our website.
