You will also receive a survey in your inbox which you can utilize to make comments about the candidate.
Though the announced finalists’ names will no longer be confidential in any strict sense, we urge you to use discretion in sharing this information more widely. Please do not post the fact that someone is a finalist anywhere on the Internet, or further distribute any of our e-mails about the candidates or the process. Some of our finalists are candidates in other searches, and the widespread leakage of this information—though some is assuredly inevitable—could prejudice our chances in attracting the strongest candidate.
Thanks guys! 🙂 Hope to see you at the forum!
Best,
-Grant
