Applicant Tracking

                    

The WNY School Application System
"Schools work together in the best interests of children."               

The WNYSchool Application System is a consortium of schools brought together to offer an on-line application process to prospective teachers and administrators. Applicants complete a thorough application which is stored in a shared database. Documents such as resumes, transcripts, and letters of recommendation can be attached to the application.

When the application is complete, the applicant receives confirmation via email. Districts post positions on the site and applicants can attach their documents to any posting or leave it in the general database. Individual districts can only see applications where the applicant has explicitly checked that district. Each of the districts in the consortium use query tools to access their data and find the best match for positions.

Currently the school districts involved are listed below (the list is continuously growing). To learn more about any of these school districts, click on the desired school name to access its website.

Did You Know?

Over 20 College and University Career Centers have the ability to attach a candidate's Confidential Placement Folder to the online application. To view a list of the participating College and Universities, see the FAQ section. For more information, contact your Career Center or email WNYSAS@e1b.org  
Helpful Hint of the Month

Applicants - Throughout the year, new school districts are added to the online application system. Visit the "Districts" page of your online application to make sure all your districts of interest have been check marked. Districts without a check mark will not appear on the "Jobs" page and, therefore, they will not be able to access your application. If you apply to a job posting, it is recommended that the district remain checked.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How do I create an Applicant Tracking account?
A. Begin by selecting Applicant Login located on the top of the Applicant Tracking page. Next, select Create New account, which is located in the middle of the page. The Add Appplicant page will then be displayed. When completing, make sure to select the correct Applicant Type. If you wish to create both a Certified and Classified application, please see the following FAQ. After completing the Add Applicant page, click Save and Next, and then proceed filling out the application.   
Q. How do I create both a Certified (Teaching/Administrative) and Classified (Civil Service) Application?
A. An applicant can have both a Certified and Classified application. This can be accomplished by a user after initially selecting either Certified or Classified on the Add Applicant page (when first setting up your account). 

To change the Applicant Type, the user must click on their Application tab and use the the pull down menu (right-side of the page) to select the General Information page.

On the General Information page, the user needs to click Change Type under the Applicant Type section. A display box for Certified and Classified will appear. The user may check one or both of these boxes along with the Save and Next button to confirm the change.


Q. Can I attach documents to my online application?
A. Resume, cover letter, unofficial transcripts, letters of recommendation, copies of certification, and other documents can be scanned and placed on the Attachments page of your online application. For best results, scan documents at 70-75 DPI, choose an appropriate format (PDF, TIF, TIFF, DOC, JPG), and make sure that the documents do not exceed 1 MB. Please note, read all postings carefully as school districts may require specific documents be attached to your online application.
Q. How can I make sure that all school districts in the system can see my application?
A. The District page of your online application lets you decide what school districts can see your application. Make sure to check the box next to the school districts and click Save and Next. School districts can view your application when you apply for a job or through anonymous searches. It's best to continously update your online application.
Q. When will my application expire?
A. Your online application will expire after 180 days of inactivity. Those applications that expire can be reactivated by logging into the system and following the simple directions.
Q. Where do I find my Applicant ID number?
A. Your Applicant ID is located on the General Information page of your application. When you log in, click on the Application tab, then use the pull-down menu at the top of the screen to change your current page to General Information. Your Applicant ID is located towards the bottom of the General information page under Account Information.
Q. How do I attach my Confidential Placement Folder to the online application? How much does it cost?
A. Visit your college career center with your Applicant ID. Each participating college has been given software to attach your Confidential Placement folder to your online application. Your information is encrypted as scanned and loaded directly to your application.  College costs for this service may vary; see your career center for more information.
Q. How will I know my Confidential Placement Folder has been attached to my application?
A. The General Information page of your application has a section at the top that states, Confidential Placement Folders received? There will be a Yes after the statement if the file has been attached. A blank/empty space after the statement means no information has been attached.
Q. How often should I attach my Confidential Placement Folder to my application?
A. Your Confidential Placement Folder only needs to be attached once. If new documents are added to it, you may wish to contact your college career center and have it resent.
