The Higher Education Recruitment Consortium (HERC) is a non-profit consortium of higher education institutions in the United States.
History
The first HERC was established in Northern California in 2000 with Stanford, UC Berkeley, and the University of California at Santa Cruz as lead members, with the goal of allowing colleges and universities to collaborate on the recruitment of faculty, staff, and executives.{{Cite web |title=Higher Education Recruitment Consortium will assist job hunters seeking faculty, research, executive positions |url=http://chronicle.uchicago.edu/071101/herc.shtml|access-date=2021-02-17 |website=chronicle.uchicago.edu}}{{Cite web |date=2007-12-20 |title=Marketplace: Studying ways to help 2-career couples|url=http://marketplace.publicradio.org/display/web/2007/06/18/studying_ways_to_help_2career_couples|access-date=2021-02-17|website=archive.is|archive-date=2007-12-20|archive-url=https://archive.today/20071220004451/http://marketplace.publicradio.org/display/web/2007/06/18/studying_ways_to_help_2career_couples|url-status=live}}{{Cite web|date=2010-11-27|title=AAUP: Recommendations on Partner Accommodation and Dual Career Appointments (2010)|url=http://www.aaup.org/AAUP/comm/rep/dual.htm|access-date=2021-02-17|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101127000432/http://www.aaup.org/AAUP/comm/rep/dual.htm|archive-date=2010-11-27}} There are currently nineteen regional HERCs in the United States, consisting of over 550 campuses in 22 states and the District of Columbia.
National HERC
The National HERC was established in 2007 to support the independent but affiliated regional HERCs. It is a program of the Tides Center, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. The National HERC is governed by an Advisory Board composed of the National HERC Director, ex officio, regional HERC directors, a member representative, and a member representative alternate from each regional HERC.
HERC maintains a regional, web-based search engine with listings for faculty and staff job openings at all member institutions, including a dual-career couple search option.{{Cite web|title=Paid Leave at Public Colleges vs. Private Ones; Family-Friendly Benefits That Go Unclaimed; Helping Dual-Career Couples Find Jobs; a Journal's Special Issue on 'Mothering in the Academy'|url=https://www.chronicle.com/article/paid-leave-at-public-colleges-vs-private-ones-family-friendly-benefits-that-go-unclaimed-helping-dual-career-couples-find-jobs-a-journals-special-issue-on-mothering-in-the-academy/|access-date=2021-02-17|website=www.chronicle.com|date=9 April 2004 }}
