In order to improve hiring efficiency, be more responsive, and help us find the best candidates, Stark State has implemented the use of a few recruiting tools, such as Humanly (formerly Qualifi) and Skill Survey. You may hear from us through one of these platforms during the recruitment process.

Humanly (formerly Qualifi) is a cloud-based phone interviewing platform. Think of this like traditional phone interviews, but faster – allowing us to be more responsive to you, the applicant.

Checking candidates’ references for multiple top candidates provides a valuable means of verifying skills and experience represented in resumes and interviews. SkillSurvey Reference®, a cloud-based, data-driven solution allows us to access relevant feedback from references provided by our candidates. The chosen references receive job-specific surveys on at least 26 critical behaviors and skills. These behavioral competencies have been scientifically studied and have been shown to correlate with work outcomes.

Stark State College utilizes E-Verify to ensure compliance with applicable employment eligibility laws. E-Verify is an electronic system used to confirm the employment eligibility of new hires. This process will be conducted in accordance with I-9 verification and will be done promptly upon hire for all incoming employees.

Please note: Candidates selected for employment must either reside in Ohio or be willing to relocate to Ohio.
