For department chairs and heads · US & Canada

Find pre-vetted adjunct faculty. Before you need them, or the week you do.

Facultique is a searchable pool of verified adjunct instructors, also known as sessional or part-time faculty, across the United States and Canada. Search by the classes they have taught, request a chat in minutes, and cover a class or build next semester's bench without posting a job.

Example of a scholar profile as a department chair sees it: qualifications, classes taught and response time, with the name and contact details hidden until the scholar accepts a chat request.

Adjunct staffing

Adjunct staffing for every situation

Not only for emergencies. Build relationships with good scholars at any time of year, and reach for them when a class needs a teacher.

Build your adjunct pool

Meet qualified scholars before you need them. Save the strongest to My pool with a private note, so next term's staffing starts from a shortlist, not a job posting.

Cover a class at short notice

An instructor withdraws a week before term. Search by the course, see who has taught it, and ask the best matches today.

Leave and sabbatical cover

Parental leave, sabbaticals and secondments are predictable. Line up a replacement for the term with time to spare.

New sections and specialist courses

Enrolment jumps and you need another section, or a niche topic needs an expert in the room. Search by expertise, not just by title.

How it works

How department chairs find adjunct faculty on Facultique

No job posting to write, no applications to sort. The right scholar is a chat request away.

  1. Step 1: Search verified scholars

    Filter by classes taught, discipline, location, experience and teaching format: in person, live online or self-paced online. Searching is free.

  2. Step 2: Request a chat

    Pick the scholars you like and say why: a class to cover, or growing your pool. Each scholar shows how fast they usually reply.

  3. Step 3: Chat once they accept

    When a scholar accepts, you chat right in Facultique, and names and contact details unlock both ways. Then agree the details directly.

  4. Step 4: Pay only for answers

    Chat requests are free while Facultique is new. If a fee applies later, you see it before you send a request, and it is refunded if the scholar doesn't reply within 5 days.

Vetted up front

Every scholar is checked before you can find them

Our team reviews each scholar's CV, LinkedIn profile and a 10-second intro video (name and specialty) before they appear in search, and follows up personally when something needs a closer look.

  • Unverified scholars are invisible to chairs.
  • Judged on merit: scholars are anonymous until they accept, so you choose on expertise and teaching record.
  • Search by the specific classes a scholar has taught, with matches highlighted.

What you see

  • Qualifications, expertise and years of teaching
  • The classes the scholar has taught
  • Where they earned their highest degree
  • General location and teaching formats
  • A responsiveness badge from their real reply history

Private until they accept

  • Name and photo
  • Intro video
  • Email, phone and other contact details
  • Institutions taught at, and publications
  • Their CV (only our team sees it)

Compared with a job posting

A faster way to staff adjunct sections

A posting waits for strangers to find it. Facultique lets you go to scholars you have already seen are qualified.

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

Adjunct hiring questions, answered

How can a department chair find an adjunct instructor quickly?
Search Facultique's verified scholars by classes taught, discipline, location, experience and teaching format, then request a chat with the best matches. Searching is free. Each scholar shows a responsiveness badge, such as "usually replies within a few hours", so you can see who is likely to answer fast, and a scholar who accepts opens a chat with you right away.
What is the difference between adjunct faculty, sessional instructors and part-time faculty?
They are largely the same idea under different names: instructors hired by the course or by the term rather than into a permanent role. "Adjunct" is the usual US term; Canadian colleges and universities often say "sessional instructor", "contract faculty" or "part-time faculty". Facultique covers all of them in the United States and Canada, and calls them scholars.
Can department heads and program directors use Facultique, not just chairs?
Yes. Facultique is for anyone who hires teaching staff for an academic department or program: chairs, heads, program directors and associate deans. Sign up with your institution email address.
How are the scholars vetted?
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. Scholars are invisible to chairs until they are verified.
Do I see a scholar's name and CV before I request a chat?
No. Chairs see qualifications, expertise, the classes a scholar has taught, where they earned their highest degree, their general location and a responsiveness badge. Name, photo, intro video and contact details unlock only when the scholar accepts your chat request, and only for you. CVs are only ever seen by our team.
What does Facultique cost a department?
Facultique is free for departments right now. If a fee is introduced, it is shown before you send a request and is charged only if the scholar accepts. Scholars never pay.
Does Facultique handle contracts, payroll or onboarding?
No. Facultique connects chairs and scholars; it is not an employer, recruiter or staffing agency. Your department and the scholar agree on pay, contract, right-to-work checks and paperwork directly, the same way you do for any adjunct you hire.
Can I use Facultique for a class that starts next week?
Yes, covering a class at short notice is one of the most common reasons departments use it. It works just as well far ahead of time: many chairs use it to build a bench of adjuncts before they need them, so the next vacancy starts with a list instead of a job posting.
Who can sign up as a department chair?
Sign up with your university email. Chairs with a .edu address, or at a recognised Canadian university or college, can search as soon as they confirm it; our team verifies any other department chair personally. Facultique covers colleges and universities in the United States and Canada.

Your next adjunct is one search away.

Create an account with your university email in about two minutes. Chairs search for free, and .edu and recognised Canadian institution addresses are approved as soon as you confirm your email.
