Can Inside Higher Ed help my institution recruit academic couples?

Yes we can - in fact we're particularly proud of our Dual Career search function.

It’s not unusual for both members of a couple to be academics – and it’s not unusual for couples to want to work in the same location. Lots of institutions miss out on great hires because couples can't easily find jobs for both partners. Some schools are turning to regional job boards as a solution, but that's really only helpful once you've hooked a candidate.

Inside Higher Ed is different. Our Dual Career search is an easy way for academic couples to identify places in the U.S. where appropriate jobs for both members of a couple are available. This terrific feature allows couples to enter criteria for two separate job searches and instantly spot proximate jobs via color coded “pins” on a map.

Inside Higher Ed’s Dual Career search is attuned to the reality of academic couples – often it’s less important where two jobs are than that they’re together. Unlike dual career services that require you to enter location information as part of the search, or that are location specific, Inside Higher Ed’s Dual Career search helps couples find just what they’re looking for – jobs for each partner within a reasonable distance of each other.

Best of all, Inside Higher Ed reaches top academic couples even if they're not on the job market - something no job board can do.
