Career Portal
Career Portal is the only web-based job application solution specifically tailored to the demanding needs of
K-12 schools.
Career Portal is entirely web-based, requiring no problematic, time-consuming client installations, and consists of two
separate web sites...
- An Internet facing web site which potential employees use to complete their job
applications ... See
it the way your applicants will see it.
- An Intranet (and optionally Internet) facing web site which administrators and other
staff involved in the hiring process use to search for and evaluate
potential candidates.
Career Portal works for you 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Job applicants can fill out
your job application in the leisure of their own home, at their own pace, ensuring they will
provide the most accurate and detailed information available.
Career Portal eliminates the costly and time-consuming staff burden of copying, filing,
and distributing individual applications and resumes to those responsible for hiring decisions.

For Information Technology Departments
The administration website provides access to all staff involved in the hiring process with no additional client software installation required. Access controls allow you to provide different levels of access depending upon the user’s role in the hiring process. Active Directory integration is provided so your staff doesn’t have to remember yet another username and password. External non-Active Directory users are fully supported as well, so you can involve outside parties in your process.
Career Portal uses Microsoft SQL Server for application data and document storage,
so backups slip right into your normal back process.
For large organizations, Career Portal is scalable, allowing each web site and the
SQL server to be installed on a separate computer or cluster to distribute the workload.
For smaller organizations, all web sites and the SQL server can be installed on
a single Windows 2003/2008 server.

2.0+
