Job Description and Duties

Please see attached duty statement.

The California Department of Corrections Rehabilitation (CDCR) Headquarters has implemented a new automated system to streamline the hiring process.  The Human Resources Technology System (HRTS) is an intuitive, user-friendly system that provides the applicant access to real time updates throughout the hiring process.  HRTS will require new candidates to set up an account, which allows them to track their application’s progress.  Through their account portal, candidates will also be able to provide any additional information needed in the hiring process, including setting up interviews as needed.  After the final filing date, applicants will receive an email from DoNotReply@cdcr.ns2cloud.com or DoNotReply@CDCR (depending on the email provider), with direction on creating and/or accessing their account.

For HRTS communication, this is in reference to Job Requisition JR #2542

CDCR/CCHCS employees are encouraged to use their existing CDCR email address on their Job application.
