The search committee chair leads the search process from start to finish. They should organize all meetings, be the point person for questions and concerns, and ensure the search committee is staying on task.
A search committee member is someone who participates in recruiting for an open staff position at Lehigh University. Search committee members evaluate candidates, participate in the interview process, and recommend finalists. A typical search committee should be composed of individuals who will interact most closely with the position.
Search committees use PageUp to review/rate candidates and provide feedback to the search committee chair. Search committee members cannot view other individuals’ responses in PageUp. However, search committee chairs can view all ratings and feedback submitted.
