Building a Pool of Applicants

Recruiting outstanding faculty begins with a broad and deep talent pool and proactive outreach to candidates, including those who are veterans and individuals with disabilities. These resources help a search committee 1) understand services already in place for reaching applicants who are veterans and individuals with disabilities, and if helpful, 2) identify candidates listed in association directories, and 3) post a position on other job boards that reach candidates.

Advertising and Outreach to Veterans and Individuals with Disabilities

Harvard has contracted services in place for assisting with the federal requirements to reach applicants who are veterans and individuals with disabilities (see Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974 (VEVRAA) and Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973).

Harvard’s contracted vendor transmits our academic postings on ARIeS to MassHire and veteran- and disability-targeted job sites (please see the Job Boards for Potential Candidates below). Our vendor also keeps an archive of our ARIeS postings and related outreach (i.e., external job board postings) as audit records. The list of job boards below is a partial list of websites provided by our vendor, subject to change. Contact Jim Moylan if you would like the current full list.

Also, as part of Harvard’s membership in the Higher Education Recruitment Consortium (HERC), Harvard jobs in ARIeS are posted automatically to the HERC job board which reaches a broad audience, including veterans and individuals with disabilities.  The HERC site also cross-posts Harvard jobs on ARIeS to a number of other job boards (as of November 2025).

Information on HERC’s other services and resources that enhance OFCCP compliance, including attendance at relevant career fairs, can be found on the HERC website. Access may require a HERConnect account, available as part of the Harvard-HERC membership. Harvard colleagues who do not already have an account may sign up here.
