Specifications include, but are not limited to: consulting services to assist the University of Louisville in the recruitment of administrators (vice presidents, deans, and those persons who are designated by the President as having unit- or university-wide administrative functions of substantial significance to the university) and faculty with administrative functions (persons with faculty rank, other than deans, who are responsible for the administration of academic units and subunits such as academic departments and divisions). The search firm will work with a search committee of stakeholders to recommend a process, timetable, criteria, and leadership profile to recruit candidates to fill the vacancy. The firm will also assist the Committee in identifying potential candidates, evaluating, and recommending candidates for additional consideration, verifying resumes and employment and salary history, contacting references, providing complete background investigations for the final candidates, and managing the overall search process in a manner consistent with best practices and the requirements of all applicable laws. The search firm will have an online portal available to search committee members that permits them to review and evaluate applicant curriculum vitae and other materials that have been submitted. Ideally, an online collaborative environment will be available to search committee members.
