[Purpose/significance] University rankings and subject rankings have promoted the development of discipline construction, as well as potentially affected the employment of graduates. Our approach to the impact of subject rankings on the employment of iSchools in the United States aims to reveal the current discipline construction, so that it could help for faculty construction in China. [Method/process] Based on the perspective of faculty mobility, the information of current working iSchools and graduated iSchools of 880 faculties from 27 US iSchools were collected, and the difference between the rankings of former and current iSchools were mapped out. [Result/conclusion] It demonstrated that graduates from higher ranking iSchools have more opportunities, and most iSchool faculties graduated from iSchools whose ranking is lower than where they are now. In addition, gender difference existed in iSchools job hunting, as that it is easier for male faculties than female faculties to find a job in higher ranking iSchools. In the process of "Double World-class" project, faculty construction should be aware of side effect by university evaluation and subject rankings, but make use of the good influence.
