search committee
Candidate vetting group
A search committee is a group assembled to find candidates for a position, typically a senior role in academia, business, or government.
The committee screens applicants, conducts interviews, and recommends finalists to the hiring authority: The search committee narrowed the pool to three candidates for provost.
Search committees are meant to ensure thorough, fair evaluation, though they can slow hiring considerably.
