Search committees may begin looking at applications on the date listed in the job announcement. For example, "Review of applications will begin on October 3, 2018, and will continue until the position is filled." The committee must continue to review all applications and give them full consideration until the position is filled. If you put in the advertisement that, "review of applications will begin immediately," you can start reviewing applications from the time they start coming in.

No. It is best that spouses do not serve on search committees together.

The hiring official should appoint at least three people to a search committee.

Competitive (external) searches are automatically posted on the following sites/job boards:

• Appalachian Employment Site at http://jobs.appstate.edu
• HERC (Higher Education Recruitment Consortium)
• The Chronicle of Higher Education
• Higher Ed Jobs
• CIRCA, formerly the Local Job Network
• Indeed

The university pays for these advertisements; all other advertising costs must be covered by the unit, department, or college that is conducting the search.
