Recruitment Licence
A department may initiate a recruitment with written approval from the Provost and Executive Vice-President (Academic). The formal approval for the staffing plan will include the Recruiting Licence to be used for the position.
A new recruitment licence will be issued to replace pre-tenure academic staff, however, a department must nonetheless receive approval from the Provost and Executive Vice-President (Academic) prior to advertising the new position. New recruitment licences are not issued to replace retiring academic staff members.
Employment Equity
污污草莓视频 University is committed to fulfilling its mission within an institutional environment that embraces equity and diversity. The University seeks to be proactive in attracting excellent academic staff who are members of designated groups, as identified by federal and provincial legislation, as well as 污污草莓视频鈥檚 Employment Equity Policy. These groups include women, Indigenous persons, persons with disabilities, ethnic minorities, racialized persons/visible minorities, and persons of minority sexual orientation or gender identity (LGBTT2SQ*听persons).
Employment equity recruitment guidelines are to be followed by all units in the course of hiring ranked academic staff (tenure鈥搒tream and contract academic staff).
Each academic unit that is recruiting ranked academic staff must take steps to attract applications from suitably qualified members of the designated groups.
For more information or support in employment equity in recruitment, please contact tynan.jarret [at] mcgill.ca (Tynan Jarrett), the Director, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion.

Tenure-Stream Equity Assessment听in Workday
The Selection Committee has access to the candidates' equity data in Workday.听
Information from the Applicant equity survey is confidential and may only be used by Selection Committees to ensure adherence to 污污草莓视频's Employment Equity Policy. Specifically, a Selection Committee Chair may use the information to:
- Evaluate the diversity of the applicant pool: where the pool is insufficiently diverse, a department may decide to extend the application period or reset the search; If the hiring unit is not satisfied with the response rate of the survey, they may send applicants a reminder to complete it;
- Verify the composition of the shortlist - all shortlists must contain at least one member of a designated group, and an email including the Workday requisition number听must be submitted to the the Senior Employment Equity Advisor to ensure compliance;
- Select the candidate 鈥� where candidates do not differ in merit, selection committees are instructed to select the candidate from the group that is most underrepresented in their area. At the selection stage, the Chair may share equity data about short listed candidates with the rest of the selection committee听in order to facilitate compliance with equity guidelines; and
- Report on the search 鈥� approval from the Senior Employment Equity Advisor must be attached to the Workday recruiting business process.听
听
Selection process
Composing a Selection Committee
Each academic unit that is recruiting ranked academic staff听should consider the following criteria when composing their Selection Committees:
- Committee should be comprised of at least 3 tenure stream members
- Committee Chair should have tenure
- Dean's representative is mandatory, and usually consists of someone from outside the hiring department. The Dean's representative focuses on ensuring equity in the process of recruitment and selection. Depending upon the department tradition, and the expertise of the Dean's representative, they may also weigh in on more substantive issues.
- Include members of diverse viewpoints and disciplinary schools
- Include people from designated groups, but be mindful of heavy administrative workload听
- All members of the Selection听Committee must attend听training on equitable recruitment practices. Faculty must refresh their training after three years.
Ranking and Shortlist
Ranking candidates will be done in Workday. Please recall that Selection听Committees should not be numerically ranking candidates but should instead be placing them in equivalency classes (e.g.听excellent, good,听etc.).听 All candidates shortlisted for a position should be ranked in the top class in order to be invited to an interview.听听
Once a Selection Committee has established its shortlist (and it has been identified in Workday as such), it must confirm that at least one candidate on that list is a member of a designated equity group. This determination is to be made by consulting the candidate recruiting table in Workday.听In the event that there are no members of a designated group on the shortlist, the Selection Committee Chair should consider extending or re-setting the search. If the Chair cannot extend or reset the search, they must provide justification about why the search should proceed with a non-compliant shortlist.听
Selection Committee Chairs should send an email notification, including the Workday requisition number,听to the听tynan.jarrett [at] mcgill.ca (Senior Employment Equity Advisor) as soon as possible after the shortlist is decided and the committee-level equity review is completed. The Senior Employment Equity Advisor will review the documentation and candidates' files provided by the Selection Committee in Workday and will confirm to the Chair听that equity requirements have been met, or, request that the shortlist be expanded to include additional candidates.
Where two or more candidates are deemed to be "excellent" at the end of a search process, Selection Committees should apply preferential measures as outlined in the "."
