There is an emerging practice of compensating candidates\u2014either through honoraria or reimbursements\u2014 for their participation in the interview process. This practice is more common in non-profit and technology sectors than post-secondary institutions. It is nonetheless worth noting because attending interviews may require time off from work, childcare, and travel costs – all of which may pose barriers to participation for marginalized people.<\/p>\n
\nIn the current post-secondary landscape, this endeavour would need to be organized by faculty, as opposed to an initiative through VCC’s People Services. Perhaps departments could collaborate on an application to the Strategic Innovaction and Enhancement Fund for this purpose, or explore whether this is an equity initiative the faculty association might administer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
