“Spousal hiring has been immeasurably simplified in many regions of the country that now have their own Higher Education Recruitment Consortium which posts up-to-date job listings at a wide variety of nearby academic institutions belonging to the Consortium. Having consulted with several HERCS, I have admiration for the void they are filling.”

General HERC Benefits•Increases institutional visibility. The HERC websites expose job seekers from outside the region to institutions they had not

previously known existed.

•Allows for cost-effective & efficient posting of ALL job openings at an institution. HERC’s annual fee is all inclusive and covers the posting for every job at an institution. This allows for national marketing of all jobs, not just faculty or senior level jobs.

•Facilitates dual-career searches. The HERC websites allows couples to simultaneously search for two positions in the region or sub-region. Couples that had not originally targeted the UNY region may be attracted to the area by the possibility of dual-career opportunities.

•Attracts passive jobseekers. HERC website electronic alerts notify users of the existence of positions in their discipline in the region, thereby drawing immediate attention to job openings and attracting passive jobseekers.

•Encourages candidate retention and position acceptance. The HERC website provides for early identification of potential employers or specific job opportunities

•Promotes the region and sub-regions. Lists area resources (e.g. multicultural, historical, natural, cultural, religious, relocation) that highlight the area’s quality of life and amenities available to residents.

•Indicates work/life sensitivity. An institution’s HERC investment substantiates its commitment to being a family-friendly employer.

•Creates institutional synergy. The existence of the consortium demonstrates to legislators, alumni, businesses, and other stakeholders that the higher education community is working together to promote the region.

•Fosters resource sharing. Member institutions are part of a network sharing recruitment and retention best practices. HERC members gather several times per year to learn from one another, share experiences and hear salient topics addressed by nationally-known speakers. In addition, HERC members circulate CVs/resumes of accompanying spouses/partners, allowing for more efficient assistance to these couples.

•Facilitates job amalgamation. The HERC website gives existing or prospective part-time faculty one source for putting together positions at multiple area institutions.

•Unmatched professional network. HERC’s professional network is simply unequaled. It’s rare to have an organization that embodies so much diversity. HERCs member institutions area diverse, counting public and private, 2-year, 4-year, and community colleges, and professional, teaching hospitals among their membership. Likewise, HERC’s member representatives are diverse, encompassing HR Directors, Chief Diversity Officers, Equal Opportunity Directors, Vice Provosts for Faculty Development, Deans, and Dual-Career Directors. Members all share one thing in common, an interest in collaboration and leveraging institutional resources to attract and retain the most outstanding and diverse faculty, staff, and administrators and a commitment to providing tangible resources for dual-career couples.
