Faculty Hiring Procedures
It is the goal of Georgetown University and its departments to advertise, recruit vigorously, and employ qualified candidates, particularly minority persons and women. This effort upholds the University’s Affirmative Action Plan as well as the requirements of the Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs.
At the beginning of each search for faculty and faculty research positions, the departmental representative must submit Part 1 of the Affirmative Action Recruitment Report. This document provides evidence of a strong recruitment plan which emphasizes the cultivation of an extensive and diverse applicant pool. IDEAA will review this report in order to assist the department in identifying any additional measures needed to achieve this end.
At the conclusion of each search for faculty and faculty research positions, the departmental representative must submit Part 2 of the Affirmative Action Recruitment Report. This report is used to review the search and selection process, and shall indicate specifically any action which differs from the recruitment plan submitted in Part I of the Affirmative Action Recruitment Report.
Any applicants applying for vacant faculty and faculty research positions should be asked to voluntarily complete the Confidential Applicant Flow form (CAF). The Search Committee shall forward a Confidential Applicant Flow form via email or by mail with return envelope to each applicant. Section I of the CAF must be completed by the Academic departments and units prior to disseminating the CAF to applicants. This section must be completed specific to each position vacancy for which they are searching. The CAF need only be sent to applicants who meet the minimum qualifications of the advertised position.
Please refrain from printing the CAF form out in mass quantities or saving the document to your hard drive, as the form is updated regularly to reflect frequent regulatory changes. Units should be advised to print the CAF directly from this website.
