I got a letter saying they did not have slots last year. Plus, there's always an email address in the CV, so if you're interested in someone but can find a slot, you can always send them the message by email.

I can tell you that the London School of Economics will be using the Employment Service, if they're not there already.
Can anyone tell me the latest colleges that are listed?

The first Drexel ad mentions two tenure-track positions and they're primarily seeking candidates with an expertise in Urban Sociology. They list Race and Ethnic Relations, Latina/o sociology and Stratification/Mobility as secondary areas of expertise. The second ad is for a non tenure-track position and they want someone to teach SOC 235 Sociology of Health and Illness and other sociology undergraduate courses.

Post by Interviews? on Aug 5, 2015 14:04:20 GMT -5
Can folks provide an update on being contacted for interviews? I received two early in the process (nearly a month ago) and nothing since.

I've contacted three schools expressing interest. Two of them wrote back to set up an interview (University of Miami, which were VERY prompt) and RAND (which didn't reply to my initial email for a few weeks, but I had expected that). The third (Georgia Tech) I have not heard from at all.
We're almost 2 weeks out from ASA, I'm surprised a lot of schools haven't been more active in their scheduling...seem to be cutting it close, right?

I agree with the above poster and wonder if there might be a need for re-evaluating ASA ES. I'm sure this comes up every year. But it seems to me that job calls are coming earlier and earlier in the job bank, and yet fewer and fewer employers are listing with the ES. Why not move to a model that works in other disciplines like using the national conference for first round interviews?

As someone who is old enough to have done the ES prior to the recent crisis, it has always been common to have institutions schedule interviews at the last minute. They don't want to fill out all their interview slots before a lot of people have had a chance to fill out their profiles. And even in its heyday, the ES was always more likely to be used by institutions seeking to raise their profile than as a general first stop in the search process. The ASA conference is too early in the year for it to be anything but that. In fact, I've seen more than one job ad change specialties and language between the ES and the final approved ad finally coming out. And I doubt there would be enough interest to change the ASA conference date to have a more useful employment service. Even if they did move it to, say, January, a number of schools would still have a huge incentive to ditch it and have even earlier deadlines, since that way they can lock in candidates earlier with less negotiations.

I can see qwe's point but the problem is that it prevents many of the applicants from booking other potential activities/events/etc. in the hopes that one of these schools will contact them. It would be useful to have a clear mandate regarding timelines for requests from applicants to meet with search committees and for committees to fill up their time. All of this last minute stuff seems to devalue the entire process. If the point is to increase a school's or department's profile then 11th hour requests are a bad look.

I understand and agree with the concerns. My experience last year was that universities would confirm or request meetings even during the conference. Very last minute.

I know that this can be anxiety inducing for some people. But remember that you can even register for the ES on site for the conference. So they are not going to limit late comers like that. And no offense, but if waiting till closer to the meeting to schedule interviews like that are a "bad look," you will be in for a rude awakening during the actual market season, when a number of schools will never get back to you.
