What is the difference between Open Market Transfer System (OMTS) and the Excess Staff Selection System (ESSS)?
The OMTS is the tool in which you register and apply to vacancies during the Open Market transfer period. During this period, all internal teachers are able to access OMTS to apply for vacancies without needing a release from their current principal. After Open Market closes, the system then becomes known as the ESSS since only teachers in Excess can apply to vacancies without release from their current ATR assignment. ESSS then becomes OMTS again at the start of the next season’s Open Market transfer period.
