WBAI general manager search committee update 6-28-02 |
Forwarded info.....
From: Aniruddha Das
Progress report on WBAI GM SEARCH: June 28, 2002 Please post widely on all relevant lists: NOTE: to get information specifically about the GM search, you may join an e-list and / or read messages on the web at : http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ProgressReport or ProgressReport-subscribe@yahoogroups.com The GM search committee has been meeting weekly since April 24 2002. The composition of the committee, with the affiliations of all the members, is given at the end of this note. Over the first few weeks we developed a new advertisement for the GM position, with wording that reflected the specific needs of this position at WBAI. We also developed a list of places to post this ad. The list includes mainstream, community and alternate press as well as websites for non-profit groups, etc. (When we started there was already a more generic ad placed by Pacifica in a number of publications) The new ad and a (partial) list of the posted sites is given at the end of this note. IF YOU HAVE any suggestions about other places to post this ad, please contact Aniruddha Das at Aniruddha.Das@columbia.edu (note the dot between the first & last name in the e-mail address, Aniruddha.Das) We received an initial batch of 27 resumes in response to our ads. Before looking at any of the resumes we developed a set of criteria to use in reviewing the resumes and ranking each candidate's relevant experience. We reached consensus on using the following criteria:
After we each individually ranked every candidate according to these
criteria, we presented our choices of the candidates we rated as "strong
enough to merit an interview." By pooling our individual rankings (which
were, as it turned out, largely quite similar across the committee) we
selected 6 people for the first level of interviews. These are planned as
30-minute telephone (speakerphone) interviews in which 3 or 4 committee
members ask the candidate a short set of prepared questions while the other
members listen in. The intent of this first level of interviews is to
refine our information on the candidates selected. The questions, while
differing in detail from candidate to candidate, cover the following common
territory for each:
Our first phone interview, with the first candidate, was held on Wednesday, June 26. We expect to have the first batch of six first-level interviews completed by July 10th. In the mean time, we have received a second batch of 14 resumes which we will evaluate in a similar manner. We are still looking actively for possible candidates, so anyone reading this is encouraged to spread the word around. Any candidates interested should send a resume and names of at least 3 references to:
WBAI, Attn: General Manager Search Committee
