How to add Search Committee Members plus more

Adding search committee members can be done during the initial set-up of a job position or later when the whole committee is known.  If you are unable to add a member because the name is not showing in the list, send an email to faculty.admin@yale.edu to request assistance to get the name added. 

  1. Click Edit Position from the Position Action button upper right.

  2. Click #5 Search Committee or scroll down and click Edit on the Search Committee section.

  3. Click Add Member and the pop-up search window will open. Type the name (Tip: firstname. ) to find and then click +Add to place the member in the list.

Currently,  individuals added as search committee members will see all documents of an applicant’s record.  Therefore,  individuals that are not part of the eligible voting faculty group should not be added to this list. Instead provide them with only the documents they are permitted  to see  so that they will be able to partake in any discussions.  

NOTE:  If needed, provide the role of Committee Manager for faculty members not Administrator.  You, may need to assign the user the role of Committee Manager for the unit in which you are editing the position.  

  • Click, Users & Groups, in the left menu under Faculty Search
  • Search for the faculty or admin name (if not found, send email to faculty.admin@yale.edu) and click the edit pencil. 
  • In this Edit User window, click + Add Role and select your Unit and then select Committee Manager role from the list. 
  • Finally, go back to edit the position and click the +Add Manager button and select the individual as  a manager of the search committee.

Position Status 

When it is time for the committee members to review applications, set the Position Status (via the Edit Position under the Position Actions upper right) to Reviewing applications and be sure the third attribute, of this status, is set  such that, Evaluators can review applications to this position.  If not, click, change to edit and adjust accordingly. 

If the search committee members wish to see applications during the Accepting Appications stage, be sure the third property is set so Evaluators can review applications. Also, beware that applicants have the ability to update their application until the position moves to the status of Reviewing Applications.
