Faculty Search and Applicant Tracking (FSAT)

The Faculty Search and Applicant Tracking (FSAT) system improves faculty recruiting efficiency and effectiveness for search committee members and hiring administrators. It allows you to advance faculty job requisitions — from creating and posting openings, to reviewing and evaluating applicants, to selecting and hiring the best candidates, to reporting on compliance with federal hiring requirements — all using a common tool that helps manage the overall process.
