About Faculty Job Tools — Founded by Dr. Dani Babb, The Original Pioneer in Faculty Career Services
Faculty Job Tools exists to make the academic job search less confusing, less stressful, and far more effective. Founded by Dr. Dani Babb in 2003 — the original pioneer in online professor job placement - Faculty Job Tools has supported tens of thousands of faculty members across every academic discipline, from first-time adjuncts to full professors seeking new positions.
We help professors, adjuncts, and aspiring educators find the right teaching positions through expert job application services, customized job leads, and practical guidance built on real-world academic experience.
Dr. Dani Babb created Faculty Job Tools to give educators the same strategic advantage that hiring committees use to make decisions. Drawing on decades of experience as a higher education leader, faculty member, and administrator, and as the author of the Make Money Teaching Online book series published by Wiley, Dr. Babb built a service that reflects what she learned from the inside: what hiring deans actually read, what search committees actually value, and what separates candidates who get hired from candidates who keep applying.
The team understands how higher education hiring really works because they’ve lived it. Each member has reviewed applications, chaired searches, and taught in both classroom and online environments. To stay ahead of hiring trends, Dr. Babb regularly interviews deans, department chairs, and hiring managers to understand what they look for when selecting new faculty. That insight directly informs every service Faculty Job Tools provides.
Many institutions also turn to Dani Babb when seeking qualified, experienced instructors. This dual perspective—supporting both job seekers and hiring leaders—gives clients a genuine advantage in the competitive academic marketplace.
Faculty Job Tools offers a range of services including faculty CV and cover letter writing, academic branding, job application support, custom job leads, and interview preparation. The company also hosts a free online faculty community where educators exchange job postings, advice, and support.
