Establish Custom Rating Criteria and/or Assign Blind Review
Institutions using Interfolio's Faculty Search (FS) can allow Administrators and Committee Managers to establish custom evaluation criteria on a 5-star scale to rate applicants in categories such as scholarship, teaching, research, and publishing. This article will guide you through establishing custom rating criteria and configuring blind review during the evaluation process. Administrators and Committee Managers can view individual details of evaluator ratings by running an applications report.
Establish Custom Ratings Criteria
- Navigate to the Positions page and click the hyperlinked Position name to navigate to that position's page. Select Position Actions > Edit Position.
- Navigate to the Evaluations Settings step on the ‘Edit Position’ navigation menu.
- On the ‘Evaluation Settings’ page click +Add Criterion to create rating categories for evaluators. At least one criterion must be created for evaluators to have the ability to assign 1-5 star ratings. Without criteria, ratings cannot be given.
Blind Review
Enabling (checking) blind review hides others' comments and ratings, allowing evaluators to see only their own comments/ratings and hiding the ‘Committee Summary' column. This setting does not affect Administrators and Committee Managers, who continue to have full access to all evaluators' comments and the ‘Committee Summary’ column.
A criterion can only be deleted once all ratings are cleared by evaluators. If in use, an error message will appear.
Administrators and Committee Managers can view individual evaluator ratings by selecting 'Rate By Criteria and Evaluator' in the 'Columns' window when running an applications report.
- Complete the Add Evaluation Criterion form that displays and repeat for additional criteria as needed. These criteria will display on the applicant's page under the Ratings section.
