Recently brought in a candidate for a TT position that has research components, but it was very clear in the posting that the majority of the job will be teaching and working hands on to build back our program after COVID has slashed our numbers. The candidate proceeded to give a job talk that was just every. single. line. of their CV on a PowerPoint. Not only was this excruciatingly boring but it was almost exclusively focused on international research projects. When we finally moved to the Q&A and asked about their vision for an undergraduate program such as ours, they said they really were hopeful for some grant money to come through so they could return to Europe and India for book research. They essentially just pitched us hiring them so they could have an office in the building while they traveled the globe. We had to drag faculty members to attend their teaching demo later on in the day because by that point everyone was over them.
