1. Why is the City of Springfield transitioning to NEOGOV’s online application system?

• NEOGOV offers a streamlined application process that better guides you through applying for a job.
• NEOGOV is mobile-device friendly, allowing you to complete an application on a phone or tablet.
• NEOGOV gives you the option to apply using your LinkedIn or Facebook account username and password.
• Once you upload your resume, certain fields in the application will automatically be completed based on the information contained in the resume, reducing the time needed to complete an application.

2. What do I need to do to prepare for the transition to NEOGOV?

• If you have uploaded documents (resume, transcripts, certifications, etc.) to your current iRecruitment profile and do not have copies of these documents saved outside of iRecruitment, you will need to download and save them in another location.
• Please click on the “iRecruitment Login” link, log in to your account, navigate to the documents, and save them on your personal computer, removable media like a flash drive or to a cloud-based file storage service.
• No account information, documents, or applications will transfer from iRecruitment to NEOGOV.  These records will not be accessible after Aug. 6.

3. How will I access the new NEOGOV application system?

On Aug. 7, when the City transitions from iRecruitment to NEOGOV, the City of Springfield Jobs page (https://www.springfieldmo.gov/Jobs) will be updated to display the link to the new NEOGOV application system.

 

4. I have previously created a profile and applied for a City of Springfield job through the current iRecruitment system. Will my account information transfer to NEOGOV?

No, your current iRecruitment profile and previously submitted applications and documentation in iRecruitment WILL NOT transfer to NEOGOV.  No account information, documents, or applications will transfer from iRecruitment to NEOGOV.  For future career opportunities, you will create a new online application via NEOGOV.

5. If I apply for a job using iRecruitment, will I have to reapply in NEOGOV?

No. Jobs posted in iRecruitment over the next few weeks will have an application deadline that will occur before the scheduled transition to NEOGOV.  Effective August 7th, 2017, Human Resources will post all job openings via NEOGOV.

6. I am a current employee of the City of Springfield. How will I apply for City job opportunities?

• Beginning Aug. 7, City employees can access the new City Jobs link via Cityshare or the City of Springfield Jobs page to apply for City job opportunities.
• Employees will NOT have a separate internal access link like they now do in iRecruitment. 
• If you are a supervisor involved in the hiring process, you will be notified in the near future of various training or orientation opportunities to help you become familiar with the new NEOGOV system and processes.
