The Human Resources Department (HRD) is responsible for recruiting, receiving and processing job applications,
administering candidate assessments and examinations, establishing qualified candidate lists to School Principals,
and other Departments within CMS to fill vacancies. The current custom on-line application does interface with the
Lawson HR/Payroll system. Due to the large volume of applications received and the lack of appropriate screening
tools, it is necessary to obtain a new Applicant Tracking System (ATS) that will meet the operational needs of the
HRD while also improving its efficiency and effectiveness. The new ATS must interface with Lawson to feed a
minimum of applicant demographic information.
