How much does admin value Search/ISS data on applicants?

Post by american »

Aka - Do I really need to reactivate? How much value does admin put on the Search/ISS recruiters? When they are reviewing application documents through their own website, do they check the databases? Is the listing as an active candidate a reason to go either the In/Out section for narrowing the numbers of teachers to interview?

The main reason to have an active profile, even if you fill out the application, is access to your confidential references. We dont consider anything a teacher delivers to us to be useful.

It seems with the ability to send any documents, share private emails and participate in video conferencing, etc., that to spend the time and money travel to a fair, participate in the process that can be overly quick and stressed then make instant life changing decisions is not the best system. The fair will just confirm what documents and an email or phone call to prior supervisors already showed. Also, the time principals are away from their schools to go to multiple fairs is amazing.

My position was offered outside of a fair, actually while I was at a fair that my current school was not attending, and although my admin did check my profile, it was not the determining factor. I guess I just don't want to deal with the whole situation, and don't want to wish I did. Hmmm.
