Make a Position Public or Private (Waiver)
A toggle is now available for Faculty Search (FS) positions that allows users to mark the Advertising Setting of the search as public or private when creating a position. Private positions are only accessible via a private link that can be shared with selected applicants. The link is not visible to the general public. Public positions are available for applicants to find and apply for online.
Create a Public or Private Position
When creating or editing a position, navigate to the Basic Information section and scroll down to the Advertising Settings section where you can select whether the position is public or private.
| Public Position |
Available online through external job feeds managed by Interfolio and can be found on job boards like Inside Higher Ed, HERC, HigherEd Jobs, Dossier searches, and the institution's Public Positions List. A public posting does not automatically post to these services unless users have already set up this integration. |
|---|---|
| Private Position |
Private positions are accessible only via a private link and are not discoverable from public position feeds managed by Interfolio, Dossier, or the institution's Public Positions list. When setting a position to Private, users must select a reason from a predefined list. Private positions must still be published for applicants to access and complete applications. Private positions are useful for internal searches, waiver hires, or reviewing a preferred candidate. |
