Search Committee Information
IECC enlists a search committee to review applications, conduct interviews and reference checks, and recommend a candidate or a list of evaluated candidates for all positions.  Hiring managers/supervisors often ask questions such as “What paperwork do you need from me?”; “What do I need to do next?”; “Can I ask this?”; etc.  The information below is provided to assist members of the search committee in the hiring process for all employees.  If you have any questions about your role as a chairperson or member of a search committee, please contact Sonja Wease in the Human Resources Department at extension 5522.
