The University of Lincoln run a successful Student Recruiters programme where students fulfil the role of interview panellist, taking part in appointing of new academic staff with a student engagement remit.

Through an initial institution-wide recruitment campaign students apply for the voluntary roles and attended an interview prior to being selected. Students then join a three-hour training session giving them insight into the recruiting and shortlisting process as well as preparing them for their role in the interview, assessment and selection stages. Students work with HR to devise their interview questions and assessment criteria for the candidates around the subject of student experience and feed into the follow-up discussion and final selection decision meeting. This case study outlines the background to the project and its impact on student engagement and the recruitment process.
