The 3 Pillars of Talent Acquisition

University and college talent acquisition needs campus reach, software, and a partner — not a generic HR stack.

Pillar 1

Higher Ed, University & College Talent Acquisition

Campus hiring is not generic HR. Talent acquisition for universities and colleges means faculty, research, and staff roles that commercial boards miss. Academic Jobs is built for higher ed talent acquisition — from department chairs to college staff.

Pillar 2

Talent Acquisition Software

Run Talent Acquisition Software on Academic Jobs Job Board Software: post once, reach academic candidates, and keep applications on your campus workflow. Pair it with Higher Ed Employee Referrals when you want faculty to nominate peers.

Pillar 3

Talent Acquisition Partner

Need a talent acquisition partner for executive or hard-to-fill roles? The Academic Search Consultants run a dedicated global search. Peer-2-Peer Recruitment is the nomination method; Higher Ed Employee Referrals is the referral platform.
