Thanks, Tammy!
Can you please give an example of an ad that is "too generic?"
Our school uses several methods to recruit instructors, internal postings, school website, and CareerBuilder.com. I have been priviledged to also locate instructora via my networks, and also from other faculty recommendations. I believe the Internet ads can be improved by being more specific with KSAO's. Some of the very generic written instructor ads generate far too many unqualified applicants.
Xander,
Do you have a program that rewards employees for referring other employees to your school?
My employer has a policy that rewards the recommending employee when the recommended employee completes six months successfully. It is not a significant amount, but it is a way of saying thanks.
We have been pretty effective with employee recommendations. We can improve it by creating a more formal recruitment procedure and by ensuring that the person who recommended the applicant is not also their tutor / mentor in the initial employment stages and trials.
