- Library Administration receives, organizes, and copies resumes makes application materials available in Box for all members of the committee.
- After the closing date and the distribution of resumes, the committee should be given one week to review applications. The Chair should provide a checklist or rubric to aid the evaluation process. It can be helpful to have the committee create the checklist/rubric together, if time permits.
- The Chair will schedule a meeting after the week of application review. Remind committee members to bring their calendars. This meeting should address the following:
- The Chair should provide an overview of the search process, timeline, and committee responsibilities. This should include the importance of confidentiality, privacy, fairness, and a commitment to diversity.
- Determine a ranked list of applicants to offer a phone interview. There is no set number, but committees often offer phone interviews to five or more candidates. Discuss with the committee one or two back up candidates in case any initial candidates decline the interview.
- Determine dates/times available for phone interviews. Work with Library Administration to reserve 353G for these times. The length of the phone interview will range depending on the position, number of questions, and candidate. Offering half hour to an hour blocks is generally sufficient.
- Finalize phone interview questions.
- The Chair contacts the Library Administration office with a list of names and times/dates of possible phone interviews. The Library Administration office contacts applicants and offers them the interviews and finalizes times and dates.
- The Chair should schedule the phone interviews using the UMBC Google calendar and invite committee members. Interview slots can be labeled as "Held" until they are confirmed.
