Overview of Our Process: In the Novi Community School District (NCSD), we take great pride in our thorough hiring process. For all candidates applying for a position within NASA, we follow a comprehensive procedure to ensure we select the best candidates. The process begins with an online screener, which will be sent to all applicants via email. It is crucial for candidates to regularly check their email for invitations to progress to the next step. Upon successful completion of the screener and the first phase of the process, selected candidates for NEA and NASA positions will receive an email invitation for a one-way video interview. This stage is a crucial opportunity for candidates to showcase their qualifications. After reviewing the one-way video submissions, selected candidates will be contacted by phone for an in-person interview.

Candidates will have a two-business day window to complete both the online screener and the video interview, so candidates should be prepared to dedicate some time during these parts of the process. It is critical that these deadlines are met, as candidates will be excluded from moving forward if they do not complete these components on time.

We look forward to getting to know you better through our hiring process, and we appreciate your dedication to monitoring your email for important updates and invitations. Thank you for your interest in joining the Novi Community School District.
