  • It is important to review only completed submissions.  Only these can be considered for the position.
    • Only review *Ace candidates* (those with a star).  Only these candidates have met all the required qualifications.
  • You can sort columns by clicking on Column titles.  This is helpful when you have many applicants to review.
  • It is strongly recommended to use "Send and Close" rather than "Send and Continue".
  • Search Chairs are responsible for sending formal correspondence for interview and regrets during the search committee screening.  
  • While you can revert a candidate’s status, you cannot retract correspondence that was sent.  Use care when sending correspondence.
  • Comments are discoverable, found in the candidates history and cannot be deleted.
  • As in current practice all interview notes from the Search Committee should be retained bythe Search Chair.
  • Long Island state veterans home and stony brook university users should consult with the recruiter assigned to the requisition for a mid-search review and to ensure Fair and Equitable searches.  Do this prior to bringing in Candidates to interview, by clicking on More > Request Contribution in the requisition to be reviewed.
