### Our Process

We value your time and aim to make our recruitment process as transparent as possible. Here is an example of what you can expect after you apply. *Please note that not every search follows the same interview process and this outline is subject to change.*

1. **Application & Initial Review**
    
    Once the Best Consideration Date passes, our hiring committee reviews every application. We look for a blend of experience, skills, and a passion for University Relations.
2. **First Round: Getting to Know You**
    
    If your background aligns with our needs, we’ll invite you to a Zoom interview. This is a chance for us to learn about your professional journey and for you to learn more about the team and the role.
3. **Finalist Round: Deep Dive**
    
    Selected finalists will move on to a second interview. This may take place on-campus or via Zoom. You’ll meet with key stakeholders and dive deeper into the specific goals of the role, and the overall team and division culture.
