How Does the Applicant Portal Work?
USD 437 is now using Applicant Portal to manage all job applications. You will see five (5) tabs when you open the Applicant Portal: Home, Job Search, My Saved Jobs, Application History, and My Resume. You will need to create a Username and Password to access all of the tabs except Job Search. If you are just looking to see what is available and are not sure if you want to create an account just yet; feel free to look over our current openings under the Job Search tab.

How Do I Create An Account?
If you have not created a username and password yet click on the Sign Up link at the login screen. This will bring you to a screen asking for personal information and some of our universal application question. Any question that has a vertical red line ( | ) at the end of it is required. Once you have finished answering all of the questions click on submit at the bottom of the screen.

What If I Forget My Password?
If you forget your Password you will need to select the Forget your Password link at the sign in page. Please do not call USD 437 because we do not have the ability to look up your Username or Password.

How Do I Apply For A Job?
If you would like to apply for a position go to the Job Search tab and find the job(s) you are interested in. Click on the job you wish to apply for. Near the top of the screen you may choose to send the job description to a friend, save the description in your profile, or apply now. If you choose to apply now and you have not yet signed in you will be directed to the sign in screen. Once you are logged in you will need to fill out the job specific application and submit it.

How do I know if my application has been received?
If your application has been received you will receive an automatic e-mail reply. If you don't receive an e-mail notifying you that your application has been successfully submitted you will need to go back in and re-attach the job and answer the questions again.

Why didn't you receive my application?
The system times out after 30 minutes. The resume portion of the application will be saved, but your answers to the job questions will be lost.

Helpful hint:
If the job has questions that require paragraphs of 250 words or less you can type your answers into Word and then cut and paste them into the application so you don't time out. This is also helpful if you are placing an application for more than one position.
