Interfolio navigation

Interfolio is where the faculty pipeline lives. Where to click, what each tab does, and how to keep the committee on the same page.

Key takeaways

  • Committee tabs vs. applicant tabs — know which audience you're in
  • Shared notes are visible to the whole committee; private notes aren't
  • Reference letters are uploaded by the candidate's referees, not the candidate
  • The shortlist tag is what moves a candidate to "campus visit"

Interfolio’s UX rewards committees that have agreed on conventions: who tags shortlist, who writes shared notes, where status changes get logged. Without that, the committee ends up using email instead.

This chapter is a guided tour of the interface plus a short list of conventions worth adopting on day one.
