Positioning for success

Without Interfolio, universities often rely on homegrown systems to understand and forecast what skills they need their squads to have for future success. As one senior leader in Germany shared, "The major challenge that we face is analytics for future workforce needs, which involves building predictive models."

With Interfolio Faculty Search and Review, Promotion & Tenure, you can streamline faculty member recruitment and review processes. This means your institution can more effectively assess current strengths, recognize contributions, and build the ideal squad to navigate a changing academic landscape now and in the future

Without centralized and validated data, compliance can be complicated. As one senior university leader in India noted, “A significant issue occurred when we needed to submit a compliance report on faculty research activities. Since the data was scattered across various sources, it took weeks longer than expected…this delay caused a lot of stress for the team and ultimately led to missed deadlines.”

With Interfolio’s Faculty Activity Reporting, faculty members can collect, manage, and showcase their work in one central system. They can use this information to build CVs, promotion cases, annual review submissions and support other institutional processes. At the same time, university leaders such as the Vice Chancellors, Deans and Directors, gain access to accurate and centralized faculty activity data and insights.

By bringing workflow improvements and centralized faculty activity reporting together, Interfolio helps universities shift from reactive administration to proactive, unified decision-making. This allows leaders to better understand their faculty member strengths, implement fairer processes, ensure recruitment and retention decisions are optimal and showcase the full impact of their faculty members and institution's work.
