A new jobs website for ICANN has gone live today, providing those interested in working for the organization with a simple and effective way to view current vacancies as well as apply for jobs online.
The new site at https://icann-openhire.silkroad.com/epostings/index.cfm?fuseaction=app.allpositions&company_id=16025&version=1 can also be accessed from the ICANN homepage by clicking on the "Apply for a job" link at the bottom.
The Human Resources department has been developing new tools to attract high-quality candidates from around the world as well as streamline and improve the process for joining the organization's staff. The new website is just one of those tools.
The site makes it easier for prospective employees to learn about the corporation's role with respect to the Internet's stability, security, and operability. And it should be much easier to view job openings as well as review and compare the benefits associated with working for ICANN.
The site speeds the review and evaluation of candidate applications that can lead to interviews and, ultimately, hiring. It also enables the organization to track candidates' progress through the process as well as link candidates' skillsets to other, and possibly new, positions.
This site also features a number of tools to help potential candidates get started, including a place to upload existing resumes and a simple online form for anyone wishing to learn more about ICANN job opportunities as they become available.
