Recruiting the right people for your institution

Interfolio Faculty Search brings clarity, fairness and confidence to every step of recruitment

Hire the people who will shape your institution's future

Academic recruitment shapes the research, teaching, and reputation of your university for decades. Yet too often, the process gets slowed by scattered emails, paper files, and committee workflows that pull your best people away from the work that matters.

Interfolio Faculty Search brings the entire process together in one secure, purpose-built platform. From the first job posting to the final decision, your committees can collaborate with clarity, fairness, and confidence.

Discover what Interfolio Faculty Search can do for your institution

A better way to build your academic community

You know the challenges of academic recruitment. The volume of applications. The coordination across committees. The need to stay fair, transparent, and compliant at every step. Interfolio Faculty Search was designed by people who understand academia, for institutions that want to do this work well.

Here's how we can help you get there, together.

Bring your committees together

Hiring committees do their best work when everyone can access the same information. Interfolio Faculty Search creates a shared space where committee members can avoid back-and-forth of email chains by:

  • Reviewing application materials and confidential letters in one secure place

  • Keeping committee members aligned with consistent language and procedures

  • Supporting shared governance with clear roles and transparent workflows

  • Collaborating across multiple committees and departments with ease

With Interfolio Faculty Search decisions become more consistent and easier to defend.

Recruit fairly, transparently, and securely

Trust matters in academic hiring. Candidates deserve a fair process, and your institution deserves a record it can stand behind.

Interfolio Faculty Search helps you build recruitment practices that are open and equitable. Standardized forms and evaluation criteria keep the focus on what counts. Secure handling of sensitive documents, including confidential letters of recommendation, protects everyone involved. And every step is recorded, giving you a clear audit trail when you need it.

This is recruitment you can be proud of, from the first application to the final offer.

With the help of Interfolio, we’ve enhanced our search, our advertising, and the whole process of shortlisting and choosing the right candidate. So it’s a great tool for me.

Give applicants a clearer experience

The way you treat applicants says a lot about your institution. A confusing or slow process can turn away the very people you most want to attract.

Interfolio Faculty Search gives candidates a straightforward way to apply, upload documents, and understand where they stand. A smoother experience reflects well on your university and helps you compete for talent across the globe.

Lighten the administrative load

Your academic staff have more important work than chasing paperwork. Interfolio Faculty Search reduces the manual effort behind every search, so your people can spend their time on thoughtful evaluation rather than administrative tasks.

  • Centralize documents, forms, and communications

  • Automate routine steps in the hiring workflow

  • Cut down on duplicate data entry and lost files

  • Free your committees to focus on finding the right candidates

Less time on logistics means more energy for the decisions that shape your institution.

See the full picture with reporting

Good decisions start with good information. Interfolio Faculty Search gives you clear reporting across your recruitment activity, so leaders can understand what's happening and plan for what's next.

  • Track open positions and the status of each search

  • Monitor application volumes and trends over time

  • Review forms and evaluation data in one place

  • Understand workforce demographics to support your strategic goals

These insights help you measure progress, demonstrate accountability, and make confident choices about your institution's future.

Instead of submitting an application to an email address, prospective faculty go to a site to work through a clear digital process, which makes requirements clear.
