Pillar 1
Faculty-to-Faculty Nominations
Peer-2-Peer Recruitment starts with people who already share a lab, a conference, or a dissertation committee. A faculty or staff member sends a 15-second SMS, WhatsApp, or email — no HR portal login.
What hiring teams say
“Applicants were already looking for faculty work — not browsing generic job sites. The quality was immediately obvious.”
“We posted a hard-to-fill research role and had relevant applications within days. This is where higher-ed candidates search.”
“We reached academics and administrators we were missing on larger, general platforms. A specialist board made the difference.”

Pillar 1
Peer-2-Peer Recruitment starts with people who already share a lab, a conference, or a dissertation committee. A faculty or staff member sends a 15-second SMS, WhatsApp, or email — no HR portal login.
Pillar 2
Each nominated colleague can apply or forward the invitation. Warm introductions reach passive talent that never browses commercial boards, and they arrive pre-vetted by people the search committee already trusts.
Pillar 3
Peer-2-Peer is the method. Higher Ed Candidate Connect is the employee referral platform that runs the campaign. The Academic Search Consultants step in when the role is executive, niche, or time-critical.
Peer-2-Peer Recruitment ships with a full Academic Jobs posting. Run the campaign on Higher Ed Candidate Connect. Need an executive or hard-to-fill search? The Academic Search Consultants run a dedicated global search.
Peer-to-peer recruitment is when current faculty and staff nominate trusted colleagues for an opening, instead of relying on cold job ads. Peer-2-Peer Recruitment on Academic Jobs turns those nominations into 15-second mobile invites that the contact can apply to or forward.
Commercial boards reach people who are already looking. Peer-2-Peer Recruitment reaches people who are leading labs and presenting at conferences — introduced by a colleague the search committee already knows.
