Job Board / Applicant Tracking

In 2015, the State began providing an online applicant tracking and onboarding system that is available to all public school districts and charter schools at no cost so they can hire quality staff for their school district. This system, known as TeacherMatch, offers some specific functionality such as allowing districts and schools to do 'prospecting', post jobs to social media, and all users of TeacherMatch to post to a NC Specific Job Board.  By Fall of 2018, the system was in operation in over 250 districts and charter schools.

In the Spring of 2020, NC DPI partnered with TeachNC and PowerSchool to develop a true statewide job board that encompasses all NC school districts and charter schools including those using TeacherMatch, AppliTrack and SearchSoft.  This job board increases the recruiting reach and broadens the applicant pool for PSUs when looking for qualified candidates to fill positions within their schools.

 

New ATS Upgrade Information

In 2021, NC DPI has again partnered with PowerSchool to offer upgrade opportunities to all PSUs/Charter Schools regardless of the applicant tracking system they currently use.  There is no cost for PSUs to upgrade or opt-in to the new ATS/Onboarding system.  There are additional modules PSUs can purchase on their own, if desired.  

Implementations began in October 2021 and ran through October 31, 2022.  PSUs interested in moving to the new ATS/Onboarding system, had to complete a sign-up form.

ALL TeacherMatch users had to move off of TeacherMatch to another product, either to the new ATS/Onboard upgrade offer or one purchased by the district, by the end of the implementation period as the system was being shut down at that time.

A recorded webinar with additional information on the new system as well as the presentation and a link to the sign-up form can be found in the tabs below.

As of July 2024 there were 93 districts and 91 charter schools live on the new application system, Applicant Tracking, with another 39 charter schools continuing to work on their configurations before going live.

All PSUs and charter schools are eligible to use the DPI provided Applicant Tracking and Onboarding systems.  The implementation and training costs are no longer being covered by NC DPI.  PSUs are now responsible for the cost of implementation and training. 

If interested in implementing either Applicant Tracking or Onboarding, contact Wendy Hinson (wendy.hinson@dpi.nc.gov), or the PowerSchool sales rep if you prefer, for more information.   

     Please note, if you plan to implement both systems Applicant Tracking will be implemented first

*Note - Beginning July 2025, PSUs will pay approximately $1/student for PowerSchool ATS/Onboarding to cover the cost of this contract directly to DPI.  More information to come in terms of how DPI will invoice the PSUs and Charters using Applicant Tracking and Onboarding.

If you have questions, please email Wendy Hinson at wendy.hinson@dpi.nc.gov.

Spring 2020

The North Carolina Department of Public Instruction is pleased to announce the upcoming release of a new TeachNC job board in partnership with PowerSchool and SchoolSpring. 

This North Carolina specific job board will increase your recruiting reach and broaden your applicant pool with the nation’s most popular K-12 specific job board. The new TeachNC job board will integrate automatically with your applicant tracking solution (including Applitrack and SearchSoft) so that as jobs are posted they receive immediate nationwide exposure. As candidates seek to apply, they will be redirected to your applicant tracking solution to apply.

Your applicant tracking solutions are automatically being integrated with the new job board. You can expect to receive a message soon from SchoolSpring providing admin credentials to the SchoolSpring platform where you can proactively recruit candidates to your district. 

We are excited to provide this valuable platform to drive quality candidates to your job postings with greater visibility nationwide.
