Case Study: Emerson College streamlines faculty recruitment with PeopleAdmin

How Emerson College facilitates strategic faculty recruitment

Emerson College needed a more efficient, compliant way to manage faculty recruitment without the limitations of a paper-based process. Academic affairs wanted to keep hiring centralized while still giving HR the visibility it needed later in the process, and the team also needed easier access for search committee members outside standard office hours.

PeopleAdmin implemented its applicant tracking system (ATS), which streamlined faculty searches, centralized workflows, automated applicant status updates, and gave role-based access to compliance information. The result was a smoother, more transparent hiring process with less administrative workload, stronger faculty buy-in, better visibility into search progress, and improved support for diversity and inclusion efforts through reporting and EEO data from PeopleAdmin.
