Update on KEEB Statistics

We continue to monitor the use and success of the new Kansas Education Employment Board (KEEB) as we look for ways to improve the service for both school districts and applicants. As of March, we have seen tremendous growth in visitors to KEEB and unique applications for positions. Below is a chart of monthly visitors comparing first time visitors to returning visitors. As you can see we have had a steady incline since December.



In addition, the number of individual applications submitted to job openings has doubled since December. An individual application is an application submitted for a specific job opening by a potential candidate. As the number of job openings posted have increased, so has the number of applications submitted.



These applications have resulted in 291 openings being filled to-date.



So far the data suggests we are on the right track. With over 965 openings in the state being advertised today, we will continue to focus on increasing traffic to these job openings, while providing the tools employers need to recruit and hire quality candidates.
