Audience & Partners
ABOUT US
Exceptional talent is the cornerstone of any successful organization. The strength of your faculty, staff, administrators and leaders drives research innovation, fosters impactful partnerships, ensures excellence and can improve your organization's reputation.
Inside Higher Ed is the go-to resource for higher education institutions, government organizations, corporations and nonprofits seeking top-tier recruiting solutions. We can connect you with the high-quality candidates you need to drive your institution forward.
More than two-thirds of our candidate pool is exclusive to Inside Higher Ed Careers, meaning they don’t seek employment opportunities on the two other major higher ed job boards. By advertising with us, you will gain access to a unique talent pool of skilled professionals who are ready to make an impact.
Here’s a snapshot of who our audience is and how you can effectively engage them.

WHY PASSIVE JOB SEEKERS ARE KEY TO YOUR HIRING STRATEGY
SKILLED AND EXPERIENCED
They bring current expertise, leveraging their skills and networks to excel in their roles.
AUTHENTIC AND TRANSPARENT
With no urgency to find a new job, they’re less likely to exaggerate qualifications, ensuring their experience is genuine.
ENGAGED AND SELECTIVE
Passive candidates only apply to roles that truly excite them, making them highly motivated and focused on your opportunity.
LOW COMPETITION
Since they apply selectively, you’re less likely to compete with multiple offers, streamlining the hiring process.
Our trusted platform keeps these professionals engaged, with many bookmarking Inside Higher Ed and visiting weekly, if not daily. Your job postings reach them through targeted job alerts, email newsletters and our widely read news and opinion content — ensuring maximum visibility to the right candidates.
IN GOOD COMPANY
As you promote your openings, you want to be in good company to attract and recruit the talent you desire. Below are just a few of our clients. We can provide a broader list upon request or you can see for yourself by visiting our job seeker portal.
“Recruiting through Inside Higher Ed has noticeably increased the quality, diversity, and number of candidates in our pool.”
