Supervisors must complete a Staffing Recruitment Request form to fill open full-time faculty positions or to request new full-time faculty positions. The Staffing Recruitment Request form is available on the Document Repository under Human Resources. Once the Staffing Recruitment Request is approved, the advertisement is posted in the requested publication(s). Generally, faculty positions are advertised on a variety of job boards available through our Applicant Tracking System (ATS), including Indeed, Higher Ed Jobs, the “Chronicle of Higher Education,” “Women in Higher Education,” “Black Issues in Higher Education” and “Hispanic Outlook.” Some full-time faculty positions are also advertised on appropriate websites, colleges, universities, technical schools, and other sources. Advertisements for full-time faculty positions are open until filled but they must be posted for thirty (30) days prior to applications being reviewed.
On the position’s closing, minority representation percentages are forwarded to an equity representative for review and approval. The hiring supervisor selects screening committee members with approval from the appropriate AVP, and chairs the screening committee who will review all applications to verify that applicants have the appropriate credentials as specified by College Policy 6.15 in accordance with SACSCOC’s “Faculty Credential Guidelines.” The screening committee determines the candidates to be interviewed, writes the interview questions, and recommends the top candidates to be interviewed by the appropriate Associate Vice President and the Vice President of Academic Affairs/College Provost. The final recommendation is then forwarded to the president for approval. If the recommended candidate declines the position, supervisors may choose to go to the next candidate in that pool or re-advertise the position for a minimum of five (5) days before the screening process starts anew.
More detailed information about the recruiting process for full-time faculty can be obtained by contacting the Human Resources department at (386) 506-4505.
Applications are accepted throughout the year through the HR website. Adjunct instructor applications received by the Human Resources Department are made available for review by the appropriate department chair. The applicant may be invited for an interview. Transcripts will be required at that time. If a decision is made to hire, the applicant is given a packet to complete and return. The packet includes a form for the applicant to request official transcripts to be sent to HR. Once the hiring packet is completed, references checked, academic qualifications verified, and the individual has gone through the E-Verify and fingerprinting processes, he or she is eligible to work for the college.
Please note: If the adjunct faculty has a break in service of more than one (1) year, his or her personnel file may be subject to review by HR before a re-hire of the adjunct faculty can take place.
The Florida State Records Retention Schedule requires adjunct personnel files to be maintained for only three fiscal years following employment. After this period, an adjunct must reapply to be considered for employment.
More detailed information about the hiring process for adjunct faculty can be found here or by contacting the Human Resources Department at (386) 506-4505.
