Why should I use online application delivery through Inside Higher Ed rather than asking applicants to apply directly on my own Web site?

The most compelling reason is that Inside Higher Ed can deliver ALL application documents electronically, not just the data that can be entered into an online form or database. But there are lots of benefits to online applications through Inside Higher Ed:
* No paper to copy, file or transcribe
* All applications come nicely organized as Adobe PDF files so, if you want or need paper copies, you may download and print your applications easily
* Complete candidate information is available to all members of a search committee at the same time
* You can easily post comments for other members to view
* Communication with candidates (everything from "we've received your application" to "we won't be offering you a job" to "here's our offer") can be managed online so the search committee knows which candidates have received what
And candidates love the fact that creating their portfolio once allows them to apply for jobs at any institution. That's why nearly 500 new portfolios are added every month.
