The Ohio Department of Education
Launches an On-line Web-based Recruitment System

The Ohio Department of Education has launched an online Web-based Recruitment System, which is an interactive tool that helps match school district vacancies with educators. The Web-based Recruitment System allows Ohio's educators to complete online applications and Ohio school districts to post open positions.

The system is based on the use of a standard Ohio application form, which is completed online and made available to all Ohio schools, or schools in a specific region of the state. Applicants can also apply for specifically posted positions. Additionally, applicants are permitted to attach documents, such as resumes and transcripts, to their applications. Applicants are able to update their records at any time.
