Your responsibilities are outlined in the search committee protocol training. If you haven't taken the online training within the last two years, please log in to MC Learns through Workday and review the Search Committee Protocol Training.new window

The Office of Equity and Inclusion and the Office of Human Resources and Strategic Talent Management are implementing a Search Advocate Program as a part of the College’s recruitment and hiring process. This program will help Montgomery College hiring managers, search committees, and employees learn to utilize language that is equitable, inclusive, and creates opportunities rather than barriers. The Search Advocacy program at Montgomery College is modeled and based on the work of Anne Gillies, director of the Search Advocate Program at Oregon State University (OSU), a highly respected pioneer and leader in this work. Ms. Gillies will be conducting this important training in June primarily for staff and department chairs and in August (during Professional Week) primarily for faculty this summer at MC.

A search advocate’s job is advisory; the purpose of the search advocate is to enhance equity, validity, diversity, and inclusion in the institution’s recruitment process. In collaboration with the HRSTM representative, search advocates serve as process advisors to hiring managers, search committee chairs, and search committee members, promoting a focus on equity, inclusion, and integrity throughout the recruitment process. Advocates are embedded in searches and work with the committee to recommend inclusive and equitable strategies, encourage committee members to test their thinking, and recognize the implications of bias, including unconscious bias.

A significant element of the program is large-scale organizational education and training for potential search committee advocates. Attendees work on using various search strategies to increase equity and inclusion and avoid bias. These methodologies have positively impacted the hiring process at OSU and have recently been adopted by the community college system in Virginia. We believe that they can do the same for Montgomery College.

1. Verify the budget for contracted services.

If there is not an existing position that meets your needs, please notify the vendor and procurement that a market rate is needed for the position. The vendor should be sent a list of the key responsibilities only (do not send the official MC position description). MC employees do not negotiate rates or salaries with the vendor.

4. Once a candidate is identified, complete a purchase requisition through Workday and notify the vendor. If you need assistance, visit Procurement for guidance. 
5. Upon arrival for work, have the candidate complete the Personal Data Form - Contractor (PDF, ) to be forwarded to HRSTM/Records.

*All requests must first be sent to the primary vendor. If the primary vendor is unable to identify a candidate after 24 hours, you may contact the secondary vendor. If the secondary vendor is unable to identify a candidate after 24 hours, you may contact the tertiary vendor.
