  • 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 candidate's history and cannot be deleted.
  • As in current practice all interview notes from the Search Committee should be retained by the 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 and then clicking Request Contribution in the requisition to be reviewed.
