Your job posting on HigherEdJobs attracted 200 applications. Your search committee is sorting through CVs. Meanwhile, the candidate who would actually thrive in your department is finishing a postdoc at an institution outside your network, publishing in an adjacent subfield your committee doesn't follow.
Faculty search committees that consistently make strong hires share a pattern: they don't just evaluate who applied. They proactively source candidates whose research trajectory matches the scholars who already succeed in their department. But proactive sourcing in academia means browsing department websites one by one, mining conference programs, and calling colleagues at familiar institutions. The candidate pool reflects the committee's network, not the full academic landscape.

How This Is Different
The small-world problem in academic hiring is real.
- Job postings attract whoever happens to see them, not the best-fit scholars
- Search committees rely on personal networks, biasing toward familiar institutions
- International candidates and those in adjacent subfields are systematically missed
- Browsing department websites one by one takes weeks of committee time
- Describe the research profile, career stage, and institutional fit you need
- Get candidates from institutions and subfields outside your committee's network
- Each result explains the specific scholarly signals that make them a fit
- Build a more diverse, comprehensive candidate slate in minutes instead of months
