On July 1, 2008,
Buffalo State implemented a web-based applicant tracking system
to enable online management of the recruitment process for faculty,
professional, and graduate assistant vacancies that require a search. Many processes
once done on paper are now managed online including the Recruitment Plan,
Pre-Interview Search Procedure Report, Interview and Recommendation Process
Report, Faculty and Professional Appointment Form, and the intake of faculty and
staff employment applications (including resumes, cover letters, etc). Targeted training
is provided to
individuals involved in the search process.

Although the method of processing the information has moved to an electronic
process, the Equity & Campus Diversity recruitment process has not changed.
Please continue to address your recruitment process questions to Equity & Campus
Diversity and contact
Lydia Kawaler or
Jamie Warnes at ext. 4822 if you have
technical support questions.
Why use an online applicant tracking (recruitment) system?

Report, Interview and Recommendation Process Report, and the Faculty and
Professional Appointment Form with electronic routing for approvals.

process.

qualifications).
