Note: Additional supporting resources are available on the internal MS-Teams space for EE Facilitators.
Best Practices for Inclusive Excellence in Hiring Learn More
This could be considered a very high level summary of the more detailed Policy on Recruitment & Selection of Faculty Members (SPS A1) & Companion Handbook, and is intended as a guiding resource/checklist for the Chair/Hiring Manager and entire Committee.
Equitable Recruitment & Search/Selection – Employment Equity Facilitator Checklist Learn More
This resource could be considered as complementary to the Best Practices for Inclusive Excellence in Hiring guidelines, and serves as a ‘second check’ from the EEF lens to ensure the search meets the expectations for an inclusive hiring process.
Equitable Recruitment & Search/Selection Feedback Survey Learn More
To be completed for each search by both the Chair/Hiring Manager and the Facilitator (in searches they served as the EEF), to assess the effectiveness of the EEF Program.
