Evaluator's Guide to Faculty Search
Interfolio Faculty Search (FS) provides faculty members and staff with a set of tools specifically designed to facilitate academic committee work. When it is time to hire faculty or consider fellowship applications, Evaluators can easily access and review applicant materials and participate in committee activities online with FS.

FAQ
Why can Evaluators not see the applicants?
- Check that the Evaluator has been assigned to the Search Committee. They may not yet be assigned as a Committee Member to the position. Committee Managers or Administrators must add Evaluators as new users to the system, but these users must also be assigned to the search committee for a position.
- Check the status of the search. The current status of the search may not allow for Evaluator access and the position status must allow for Evaluators to review applications.
- Check that the position or application has not been archived. Positions and applications that have been archived will not show up by default on the Positions or Applications pages, so check to make sure Evaluators are viewing active positions.
