Assign Disposition Codes
Disposition Codes, created on the Administration page, are short, pre-defined explanations of why an applicant did not make it to the next step of the hiring process. Disposition codes help track and document committee decisions regarding each applicant, providing responsible documentation of the hiring process and mitigating liability by keeping a record of the stated reasons why each individual job applicant was removed from consideration.
- Visibility: Disposition codes are available to all units, but not visible to applicants.
- Assignment: Administrators and Committee Managers can assign dispostion codes individually or in bulk to multiple applications.
- Reporting: Committee Managers or Administrators in Faculty Search (FS) can create an Applications Report by selecting to add a ‘Disposition Code’ Column for reports on the applications list.
- Examples: Salary requirements are too high; availability incompatible with department needs; less competitive based on field of research, work history, or experience; inadequate education or training; wrong degree; poor recommendations or references

FAQs
Are disposition codes unit-specific?
No. Disposition codes created at a child unit are accessible to all units within the institution. This differs from position and application statuses, which are specific to individual units.
