The recruitment of new faculty and staff is among our most important tasks. With that in mind, I am pleased to announce the appointment of Lisa Viti as Talent Acquisition Specialist, effective August 28, 2023. She joins FSC from CUNY – Queensborough Community College, where she was a Recruiter in the Human Resources Department. As Talent Acquisition Specialist, she will serve as the primary Human Resources contact for all matters related to attracting new employees, reporting to Marybeth McCloskey, Assistant Vice President for Human Resources.

As the search committee point person in the candidate recruitment process, she will  ensure timeliness, and implement best practices in selecting the top candidates and assure that FSC draws the largest and most diverse pool of candidates for each position. She will be responsible for assisting with the development of position descriptions, placing job announcements and advertisements, determining appropriate compensation levels for new positions, and providing required training on the legal aspects and best practices in recruitment. She will provide outreach and support for search committees and will work closely with hiring managers to successfully conclude searches. With the addition of this position, we are better equipped to proactively recruit to fill positions, and work with managers to establish a more efficient and comprehensive hiring process.

Please join me in welcoming Lisa to the FSC community.
