Our mission

Chairs and scholars, on the same side.

Nobody is to blame for a broken hiring system. We help both sides work around it.

Academic teaching careers have never been more precarious. Tenure-track jobs are disappearing, and new PhDs are lucky to land a post-doc. Many talented scholars leave teaching altogether. Not because they won't take the work, but because it's so hard to find. Job postings go unanswered, or turn out to be earmarked for an internal candidate.

Department chairs have the opposite problem. Budgets keep shrinking while enrolment swings, colleagues go on leave, and new courses need teaching. When department chairs need someone, their adjunct pools may not always be deep enough.

Facultique puts chairs and scholars on the same side. Chairs get a pool of pre-vetted scholars they can pull from anytime: to plan next semester, or to teach a class that starts on Monday. Scholars get increased take-home pay and a direct line to the people who hire.

For department chairs

Your adjunct pool, ready whenever you are

Not just for emergencies. Build relationships with great scholars any time of year.

Grow your adjunct pool

Meet qualified scholars before you need them, so next semester's staffing starts with a list, not a job posting.

Cover a class, fast

A colleague is out and the class starts Monday. Find someone who can teach it and ask them today.

Leave & sabbatical cover

Parental leave, sabbaticals, secondments: line up cover for a term with time to spare.

New & popular courses

Add a section when enrolment jumps, or bring in a specialist to keep your catalogue fresh.

How it works

Four steps on each side

No job postings and no application portals. Just the right scholar, a conversation away.

For scholars

Always free

No more applications sent into the void. Scholars build one profile, and department chairs come to them.

  1. Step 1: Scholars sign up and share their CV and LinkedIn. Facultique builds their profile from them.
  2. Step 2: Our team verifies every scholar from their CV, LinkedIn and a 10-second intro video. No lengthy interviews.
  3. Step 3: Department chairs find scholars by expertise. Names and contact details stay private until the scholar accepts a chat.
  4. Step 4: Scholars who reply quickly earn a “fast responder” badge, then teach, get paid and grow their network.

For department chairs

Free to search

Department chairs find qualified scholars by expertise and start a conversation in minutes.

  1. Step 1: Departments search verified scholars for free: by classes taught, discipline, location, experience and teaching format.
  2. Step 2: A chair requests a chat and says why: a class to cover, or growing the department's pool.
  3. Step 3: When the scholar accepts, they chat right in Facultique, and names and contact details unlock both ways.
  4. Step 4: No reply within 5 days? The fee is refunded automatically. No invoices, no subscriptions.

Why Facultique

Built for chairs and scholars alike

Vetted up front

Every scholar's CV, LinkedIn and intro video are reviewed by our team before any chair can find them.

Private until they say yes

Chairs see expertise and experience, not names or photos, so scholars are judged on merit, not profiled.

Scholars who reply

Chairs pay to start a conversation, so scholars know a request is serious. Responsiveness badges show who replies fast.

Pay per conversation

Free to search, no subscriptions, no invoices. A small fee per chat request, well within a department's budget, refunded if there's no reply.

Pricing

Simple, fair pricing

Free to sign up and free to search. Chairs pay only to start a conversation, and only if the scholar replies.

Search scholars

Free

Departments browse every verified scholar with all the filters: classes taught, discipline, location, experience and more.

Chat request

Free for now

Department chairs request chats with scholars at no cost for now. If a fee applies later, it is shown before a request is sent, and only charged if the scholar accepts.

Scholars

Free, always

Scholars never pay, and we never take a cut of their pay.

No subscriptions and no invoices. Any fee is announced before it applies.

Our stance on AI

AI is a choice, never a requirement

AI is a useful tool that can make life easier, but no one should have to use it. On Facultique, it only runs when a scholar opts in.

Opt in, and pre-fill takes under a minute

Scholars who choose it can have AI read their CV and pre-fill their profile in under a minute. They check every field before anyone sees it.

Or leave AI out entirely

A scholar who enters their experience manually never has their data touch AI. Their CV is read only by our verification team.

Scholars' data stays safe

We keep scholars' data secure, use it only to run Facultique, and never sell it or use it for advertising. A person on our team, not AI, verifies every profile.

The details are in our Privacy Policy.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Is Facultique really free for scholars?
Yes, always. Scholars never pay, and Facultique never takes a cut of their pay. Departments cover our costs.
Who can see a scholar's name and contact details?
Only our team, until the scholar says yes. Department chairs see qualifications, expertise, the classes a scholar has taught and where they earned their highest degree. Name, photo and contact details unlock only when the scholar accepts a chair's chat request, and only for that chair. CVs are only ever seen by our team.
How are scholars verified?
Our team reviews every scholar's CV, LinkedIn profile and a 10-second intro video (name and specialty) before any chair can find them, and we follow up personally when something needs a closer look.
Is this only for emergencies?
No. Departments use it whenever they want to deepen their pool of adjuncts: planning next semester, covering a leave, adding a course. It also happens to be the fastest way to cover a class at the last minute.
How does paying work for departments?
Searching is free. A department pays a small fee only when its chair requests a chat with a scholar, by card, with no invoices or subscriptions. If the scholar doesn't reply within 5 days, the fee is refunded automatically.
Does Facultique handle contracts or hiring?
No. Facultique connects chairs and scholars; the department and the scholar agree on pay, contract and paperwork directly. Facultique is not an employer or an agency.
Which countries does Facultique cover?
The United States and Canada, for now. Courses can be in person, live online or self-paced online.
How do scholars and chairs get started?
Signing up takes two minutes, with an email and password or a Microsoft or Google account. Department chairs sign up with their university email: US chairs with a .edu address, and chairs at recognised Canadian universities and colleges, can search as soon as they confirm it; our team verifies any other department chair personally. Scholars appear in search once our team has verified their profile.

Be one of the first on Facultique.

Signing up takes two minutes. Department chairs search for free; scholars build one profile and let chairs come to them.
