Michigan HERC

Developed in 2007, the Michigan HERC is a collaborative response of member institutions to the many challenges of academic recruitment and retention. Of particular interest to the Michigan HERC is finding effective ways to assist the spouses and partners of faculty and staff to secure area employment and ways to address issues of faculty and staff diversity.

A vital aspect of the Michigan HERC is the web-based search engine that includes faculty and staff job listings at all member institutions. This search engine is free and available to anyone seeking employment in higher education, research, healthcare (medical centers), and arts and culture. The central location of job postings and regional resources as well as the website's ability to accommodate dual-career searches distinguishes Michigan HERC from other employment websites.

The Michigan HERC is composed of a diverse group of public and private schools, colleges, and universities that include research institutions, medical schools, and a world class teaching hospital. Member representatives include faculty, staff, human resources professionals, institutional leaders, and faculty relations experts.

Mission

The Michigan HERC supports the efforts of each of its member institutions to recruit and retain outstanding faculty, administrators, and staff through the sharing of information and resources.

Goals

Develop and promote a collaborative employment website for faculty and staff positions at member institutions in Michigan.

Promote awareness of the Michigan Higher Education Recruitment Consortium.
