Hiring Matrix

The hiring matrix tool is required for all faculty searches.  This tool ensures the hiring selection decisions are based on lawful job-related and non-discriminatory criteria, thus providing Equal Employment Opportunity to all applicants.  The search committee should design the matrix categories to correspond to the required and preferred qualifications. 

If a committee member determines that a candidate does not meet the required qualifications, then the candidate should not be scored on the rest of matrix. Only candidates who meet the required qualifications should be considered for the position.  

Sample matrix templates:

1. Sample Matrix without Weights (option 1)
2. Sample Matrix without Weights (option 2)
3. Sample Matrix with Weights

The final hiring matrix should include: all applicants through, columns reflecting the required and preferred qualifications, veteran's preference verification, and interview scores.
