Summary

To search and apply for a job, follow the below steps:

  1. You will find all the jobs posted by the district on the "Job Listings" section of the Applicant Tracking (Hire) site.

  2. If you are not sure which site that would be, navigate to the district's main web page and look for the Career\Hire sections and click on the listed opportunity and you will be redirected to the Applicant Tracking (Hire) site.

  3. If you are unable to locate a job on the Applicant Tracking (Hire) site, please make sure you have the correct account type (internal vs external).

  4. If you are looking to apply for an internal job, then you would need to have the account type set as internal, as most district restricts the internal job postings to be visible to applicants with external account type.

  5. In your District's Hire Site, once you find a job that you would like to apply, click on the Title of the job (for example, “Maintenance Technician”) or click Apply.

    1. If you are taken to the SchoolSpring page directly, it means you are currently using the Enhanced Candidate Portal. Continue with the Application process
  8. Once you have logged in, you will be taken to the actual application.

  9. On the right-hand side of the screen, you can see your progress as you move through the application.

  10. You must complete all required fields and click Save and Continue at the bottom of each page to progress through the application.

  11. Please Note: while you can leave the application at any time, you must click Save and Continue in order for the system to save your information on that page so that you can resume back to continue from where you left.

  12. Note that a period of inactivity will cause the system to log you out, so do not step away from your application without clicking Save and Continue, or else information you entered after saving could be lost.

  13. Once you have completed all pages and have reviewed your information, click Save and Submit.

  14. Once your application is successfully submitted, you will receive a confirmation number
    You can use this confirmation number to reference your specific application.

  15. You will also be able to see the status of all applications you have submitted by clicking the Application Status tab in your account.

Hi @yvonne_libumfacil 

 

If you continue to experience difficulty applying for a job, I recommend reaching out to the Unified Talent Support Team using the Live Chat feature or via support case using this direct link who should be able to take a closer look at your application, rectify the reason for this issue and assist you further.

It wasn't this hard last year. It was easy.

 

it's very hard

not friendly user

This program is NOT user friendly!!!

Hi,

 

Could you please elaborate more on the issues that you are facing with this program?

Old account did not link, can't find where to find jobs, if I go back to the district and try applying that way I am told my information is invalid. Too many problems please fix them.  

Good morning,

 

I am having trouble applying for summer work. I have followed the directions but nothing is coming up for summer school jog/work.

I no longer can get in the new system as applicant. My pw and email were updated and when it asks to transfer my account info it says it does not recognize me. I can't change email accounts because then it says already a user.  i just want to apply for more jobs and can't access account now.

I can not get in. My pw does not work for the school apply to.  I went to Power School changed my pw and it still does not work.  I went to power school help and lauched a help session.  I followed the prompts and waited for chat with support to start and nothing happened. Not very easy or helpful...

This program is nightmare.  It keeps kicking me out and won't recognize my ID or password. 

 

I’m having trouble getting logged in to this site to apply for employment 

I can’t find where to apply for a job posted. 

Why is it so hard to Apply to a job ? Why are we jumping thru hoops just to Apply ? Changed my pw & it’s telling me it’s wrong how? Please fix this ASAP

I'm having the same difficulties and am at a loss for what to do. I've read the articles, I've cleared my cache, accepted cookies, checked spam folders, used the Chatbot, created tickets and NONE of it has helped me to gain access to my account. This is so much more challenging that it needs to be. Can someone PLEASE provide support?! 

When I apply for a job through ISD website it keeps prompting me that my password is incorrect, then when I select forgot password it does not email instructions to reset password.

Hi @Kayla_Garrison 

 

Thank you for reaching out to the PowerSchool Community.

 

Would you please provide a bit of detail for your issue, such as;

  • how were you redirected, and to where were you redirected

We also have a PowerSchool Assistant on the Unified Talent Application Support page that you may find helpful.

this is not user friendly!! whoever came up with this does not know HR

This website is not easy to navigate and I was not able to apply for a job even after calling technical support!!!
