Our process is consistent and compliant with Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) requirements.

BES searches for applicants aligned with the UC principles of community who represent the people of California and who demonstrate a sensitivity to and understanding of the broad range of academic, socioeconomic, cultural, disability, gender identity, sexual orientation, and ethnic backgrounds present in our community. BES conducts a process mindful of the principles of community at every step. From identifying search committee members to screening, interviewing, and selection that incorporates thoughtful language, process, evaluation, and engagement. We advocate for innovative best practices to ensure thoughtfulness and excellent service. This also incorporates the training and tools to address managing unconscious bias in the hiring process.
