After you apply for a position at Aims, a specific hiring process is implemented. To give you an idea of what to expect, here is an overview of this process with approximate timing.
While a position is still open, a hiring committee led by a search chair is formed. Each hiring committee consists of three to seven members.
Ideally, each hiring committee includes a mix of peers, supervisors, customers and stakeholders outside the department or division and someone who performs similar duties.
The search chair is also charged with ensuring that each hiring committee is diverse in:
After applying for a position, a review process begins 48 hours after the job posting closes. The recruiting team and the hiring chair compare each applicant’s information to ensure it meets the requirements listed for the position. This review process determines who will be interviewed for the role.
Two to three days after the minimum qualification review, a one-hour hiring committee charge meeting takes place. During the charge meeting, the search chair is responsible for covering the following:
The hiring committee then applies objective criteria to rank each candidate to determine who will be interviewed. This ensures an objective, fair and equitable hiring process for each candidate.
As the name implies, the hiring committee holds a ranking meeting to determine who will be interviewed from among the pool of applicants. With help from a recruiter, the committee discusses and determines who to interview based on the ranking scores for each candidate in the pool.
The timing of ranking meetings for a given position varies depending on the number of applicants:
Once the search committee has selected candidates to be interviewed, interviews are scheduled one to two weeks after the ranking meeting. If you don’t have to travel for the interview, this timeline will be closer to one week. The search committee will ask a set of interview questions prepared based on group consensus and additional questions that are required by Aims in every interview.
Depending on the role for which you’re applying, a second interview may be required.
Depending on the role, a second interview may be required. If selected to move on in the process, you will be contacted with information about scheduling a second interview.
You will receive either an email or a phone call to let you know whether you were selected for a position, with information about next steps for onboarding at Aims.
