The University of Washington uses Interfolio’s Faculty Search to manage competitive searches of academic personnel including faculty, librarians, and other academic staff. FS is not used for recruitment of classified or professional staff.
A competitive search in this context is any search which you advertise and intend to solicit applications. Some academic personnel titles require competitive recruitment; others do not. Units should review the Academic Titles and Ranks page to determine whether the position they seek to fill requires competitive recruitment. Under certain circumstances, a unit can request a search waiver to exempt them from full search procedures. Regardless of whether a competitive recruitment is required, if you choose to conduct a search, it must run through FS.
