In our most recent "how can we help you?" thread, a reader asks:
Could we maybe have a thread in which search committee members anonymously describe the quantitative results of their job searches from last year? I'm wondering how many people applied and how many were interviewed, etc. Of course, tenure-line searches are most interesting, but I'm also curious about non-TT searches like those for VAPs and Assistant Teaching Professors.
Interesting question. Are any search committee members able and willing to weigh in? It would be great to hear what kind of college or university you're at, what kind of position you hired for, how many people applied, etc.
