Leaders use Applicant Tracking to move viable candidates quickly while maintaining quality control, customization, and visibility.

“The applicant tracking system gives our leaders the power and flexibility to vet, connect with, and hire applicants fluidly. It allows us to balance speed with quality control… Ultimately, it is a big part of helping us get the right people in place to support our students.”
Lance Young • CHRO • Walton County School District
“Using the Applicant Tracking system has allowed us to move viable candidates to our hiring managers quickly… We have over 1000 users… and we have used global filters to block statuses and positions… which makes for an easy update instead of updating each individual user.”
Lisa Boone • Manager: Recruitment Non-Certified • Anne Arundel County School District
“PowerSchool has helped make the application process and the ability to fill vacant positions easier. The application platform has immensely improved the process and is continuing to adapt towards the future.”
Lisa Bennett • Business Application Specialist III • Bellevue School District
