Why did the City of Palmdale switch to a new online application system?
The prior application system was not user-friendly for applicants, hiring managers or the human resources department. For example, if an applicant wanted to apply for two different positions two applications would need to be completed and turned in. The benefits of our new system include; saved applicant information for future use, e-mail notification, job interest cards, and the ability to view application status. These are just a few of the applicant benefits. There are also benefits to our hiring managers and human resources department including the ability to have a virtually paperless recruitment process.
