Staff Selection

Cate MorrisonOctober 12, 2021

Staff selection is exciting and daunting. A time that warms your heart and reminds you why you chose this profession. It’s also a time that taxes our resources, as processes usually involve all hands on deck to help with the interview process however the rest of your job doesn’t stop. We want to help!

On most campuses, staff selection is a cyclical process that iterates and adjusts after each cycle. As a result, processes appear slightly different from year to year. The structure of the selection process may change, the interview questions are adjusted to reflect new competencies, and rubrics are amended to account for the pros and cons that occurred the year prior. It’s a process that is continually improving and will never be perfect.

One of the ways that you can improve is to use an online system like eRezLife. Our system allows you to simplify and complete your hiring and selection process online from start to finish. Data from your processes is retained online so you can pull year-to-year data as you continue to iterate and improve. Furthermore, it allows staff members to access only the information they need, when they need it, on their own time without needing to fight over paper files or head to the main office.

We’ve curated a number of blog posts and resources to help you as you work through your hiring and selection process.
