KEEB Revisions - Please Read for Important Instructions

KEEB Employers –

The Kansas Education Employment Board is being revised and enhanced.  New employer features include refined searching, emailing references, survey questions, and digital exports of applicants to name a few.

Our launch of the new website is set for March 1, 2011.  You are not required to create a new KEEB account.  Your information from the current version to the newest version will be transferred with one exception.  We are unable to transfer current employer descriptions.  Please login to your KEEB account between now and Monday, February 28^th, 2011 to copy, paste and save your employer descriptions. 

Our other ask of you is to also have all job postings between now and then end by Monday, February 28^th, 2011 or before as job postings are non-transferrable as well.  You will need to export all applicants for active postings prior to March 1, 2011.  You can post positions to the new website on Tuesday, March 1, 2011 or anytime thereafter by visiting the same URL (http://www.kansasteachingjobs.com). 

KEEB staff can be reached via email at support@kansasteachingjobs.com  or by phone at 620-724-6281 or 913-638-0151.  We are also creating training series material that will also be available on March 1, 2011.  Much of KEEB will remain the same in overall design, but with improved ease of use.  We appreciate your patience as we strive to implement features that will ease use of KEEB by both applicants and employers.

Podcasts

If your school district, cooperative, inter-local, etc., has a recruitment podcast, KEEB would like to add it to your employer profile.  Recruitment podcasts are another tool to aid in digital recruitment of education professionals.  As written by Krishna De in her Human Resource News Blog, "developing a podcast to support you in your recruitment strategy not only brings life to the roles you are recruiting for in a meaningful way, it's also inexpensive which is an important consideration in these challenging economic times."  If you are interested in creating a recruitment podcast, please contact KEEB staff by emailing support@kansasteachingjobs.com or via phone at 620-724-6281 or 913-638-0151.
