Unlimited Free Job Postings

Job postings are free to public school employers. There is no limit to the number or duration of postings however each advertisement must be a genuine opportunity for paid employment.    Eligible employers can get started by completing an Employer Account Request form.

We use recruitment marketing and programmatic advertising to reach a more diverse applicant pool. Postings on MNSchoolJobs.org are delivered to our job distribution network to draw the attention of qualified candidates that would not normally discover your openings.   The result is that job seekers learn what you have to offer as an employer and let you build a strong talent pipeline.

Employers have two options for posting vacancies to MNSchoolJobs.org.

Option 1, Manual Entry: One or more designated users sign in to MNSchoolJobs.org to create and maintain job postings. Manual postings can last up to 60 days. There is no fee for posting vacancies to MNSchoolJobs.org.

Option 2, Automatic Import: Job postings automatically import from the district’s online applicant tracking system (ATS). Imported postings remain online until closed in the ATS. This option requires a supported ATS. While there is no cost for posting, there is a fee to operate the automatic import service. Employers can also log in and manually manage job postings. 

Since our start in 2019, MNSchoolJobs.org has provided over 170 districts and charter schools with automatic import to increase the reach of postings to job seekers while adding no extra administrative workload. We understand the importance of consistency in minimizing disruption to your operations during staffing and recruiting season. We will continue the automatic import service (option 2) for existing districts at no fee until June 30th, 2024. However, to maintain a sustainable service and improve access for all public school employers, we can no longer provide the automatic import service for free as of July 1st, 2024.

If we do not receive a verified request for employer account by June 30th, 2024, the default selection for employers that have not explicitly requested the automatic import service will be option 1, Manual Entry. On July 1st, we will move all districts that have not requested Automatic Import to Manual Entry (option 1). Existing postings will remain on the site for those districts moved to Manual Entry, but no new postings will automatically import.

Eligible employers can submit a request for an employer account using this form. In this submission, an authorized district contact will be asked to identify users and select the posting option (Manual Entry or Automatic Import.) 

Virtual Job Fairs

Our virtual job fairs help Minnesota public schools meet potential candidates for employment.  The online format provides an amazingly convenient and intimate connection with licensed teachers, administrators, related services professionals, paraprofessionals, and substitute teachers. Events are produced each winter and spring to coincide with the typical staffing schedule.

Learn more about Virtual Job Fairs.

Educator Job Fair Calendar

MNSchoolJobs.org produces an online events calendar of job fairs, career days, and other employment events hosted by universities, school consortia, and other agencies. The Educator Job Fair Calendar aims to provide school recruiters with a convenient directory of opportunities to meet potential candidates for employment. The calendar’s events are periodically reviewed for accuracy, but we cannot confirm the accuracy of all information provided by third-party organizers.

Employers - Automatic Job Imports

  • What does automatic import do? How does it work?

    Automatic Import is a type of system integration where MNSchoolJobs.org retrieves job postings for an employer such that the information and state of postings in the employer’s online applicant tracking system (ATS) appears on MNSchoolJobs.org. The key reason for an employer to use the automatic import service is that no additional human intervention is required. Job postings automatically import twice each day and imported postings remain online until closed in the employer ATS. This option requires a supported ATS. There is a fee for this option. 

    See the Automatic Import Process documentation.

  • How much does the automatic import service cost?

    $1200/year, prorated to a July 1st start for the following 12-month period. For example, invoices sent July 1st, 2024, will cover the service 7/1/24 to 6/30/25.

    There will be no fee for employers using automatic import prior to 7/1/24.

  • What are the requirements of using automatic import?

    Employers wishing to automatically import their job postings must have an existing system that posts and maintains job advertisements online.  

    Generally, any system that can present a listing and details of job postings specific to your district with a publicly accessible URL will be supported. We cannot import from systems that forbid extraction through legal or technical means. The following systems are supported currently supported: 

  • Can users manually create or modify postings while using the automatic import service?

    Yes.  

    Postings that have been created as a result of the automatic import process can be "disconnected" such that the postiing information on MNSchoolJobs.org is independent of the source ATS.

    Users also have the ability to post employment opportunities not present in the source ATS.

  • Is Automatic Import available for members of a Frontline Recruiting & Hiring consortium?

    Yes. This support was added in May, 2024.  

Employers - Posting Jobs

  • How long do jobs stay in the system?

    Jobs are deleted two years after closing (expiring). The delete operation removes the posting and all related information, including analytics (views/clicks/applies), and any related candidate interest..

  • Can MNSchoolJobs.org cross-post job openings into the Handshake system that colleges and universities use?

    No. Handshake supports only the manual posting of vacancies. We are exploring an option to allow our team to cross-post on employers’ behalf.

  • Can job postings be submitted by email?

    No, we do not accept job postings via email.
