The Higher Education Recruitment Consortium (HERC) is a nonprofit membership association dedicated to expanding the higher education candidate pool and fostering inclusive workplaces.
HERC advances the recruitment, retention, and career growth of talented faculty and staff, helping to create workplaces where everyone can thrive. We recognize the pressing need for a dynamic higher education workforce that serves students, communities, and society while fulfilling the academic missions of HERC’s member institutions. Our membership includes higher education institutions ranging from technical and community colleges to research institutions and teaching hospitals.
Through resources and collaboration, HERC supports member institutions in attracting and retaining top talent. For job seekers, HERC Jobs is a central hub for discovering, applying for, and succeeding in higher education careers.
