How do professors look for jobs to end up at the University of Basel?

Abstract

Certain professorships are difficult to fill with qualified applicants, depending on the subject. Currently, the procedure is that the decentralised HR department prepares the job advertisement and forwards it to HR Services. HR services sometimes receive advice from the supervisor of the post or from the decentralised HR department on where the post should be advertised. Most of the time, HR Services must decide through which channels the job should be published. Since these publications, are expensive, it would be helpful to better understand which channels the professors use for job search.
