New Programs and Services

Staying current with the search needs of the nation's community colleges is an ongoing process. In years past, The Pauly Group has added a variety of referencing programs and today appropriate referencing can be accomplished for all personnel levels, from part-time employees to senior level administrators.

In addition, depending on college needs, Pauly Group On-Campus services may include one campus visit, two visits or have full in-person support with three visits.

Recruiting programs now include a one-time rental of the Pauly Group master database for use by colleges who wish to conduct their own mailings.  New relationships and associations with sources of highly qualified, diversified candidates are continually being established. And the latest innovation in the search process is in the area of technology.

Interactive Teleconference Interviews

The newest addition to The Pauly Group services, interactive teleconference interviews are now available. Using the campus telecommunications network and Pauly Group
connections around the country, committee's can now communicate "real time" with candidates without the expense of candidate travel.

Candidate Videotaped Interviews

A recent addition to The Pauly Group services, videotaped preliminary or semifinal interviews are available. While on-campus interviews provide the most complete review of each candidate, candidate videotape interviews are a viable alternative for college districts with severely limited travel budgets.

Videotaped interviews are conducted using a set of questions, approved by the search committee and president, and are typically 30 minutes in length. The Pauly Group does not coach candidates, provide candidates the interview questions in advance, or offer candidates interpretation of the questions. Videotapes become the property of the college.

Please Note: It is the policy of The Pauly Group to maintain a consistent interview format for all semifinal and final candidates. The mixing of on-campus, videotaped, and/or teleconference interviews of semifinal and final candidates is generally prejudicial and strongly discouraged.

Criminal and Civil Background Checks

Perhaps a sad commentary on our times, but more and more colleges have found a need to verify more than just  candidate credentials and professional recommendations. Therefore, the Pauly Group now offers full credit, civil and criminal background checks to our colleges.  Through an established relationship with a national investigative service firm, the sensitive aspects of  a candidate's background can now be completely and discreetly verified.
