JobX software purchase progress report
Mary Williams presented an overview of JobX software
JobX will allow:
- Ability to customize forms
- Job posting & closing by each supervisor
- Students can sign up for auto-emails at desired departments; supervisors will get a list of applicants with details, attachments.
- Software archives applications in a storage area for supervisors to use again.
Student Employment will move ahead with the purchase unless the cost is prohibitive. If the software is purchased, JobX will offer training sessions for supervisors on campus. If all goes well, she would like to have it in place for spring. Mary will update the group in November.
