Timing is everything for community college faculty hiring.
In 2014, 42 percent of all U.S. undergraduates attended community college. Despite their ongoing popularity with students, community colleges have increasing difficulty competing with public and private universities for faculty.
The infographic below shows how partnering with PeopleAdmin can support faculty hiring success.

a significant number of aspiring students
