The Navajo Nation on Friday launched a job application portal on Friday. The goal is to overcome the obstacles that individuals may have had to apply through the old paper application process.

The process, called the Navajo Nations Jobs Apply Portal, will now allow job seekers to use modern technology and apply online.

Reycita Toddy, executive director of the Navajo Nation Division of Human Resources, said the portal is already being used shortly after it was launched.

“Actually, we got two requests in the last few minutes,” said Toddy. “We hope to spread the message to many people. Now they will be able to use their phones and will no longer need to scan multiple documents for their applications. ”

The online address is apply.navajo-nsn.gov/

Toddy says the new benefit for job seekers is that they will no longer have to go through the pain of submitting multiple applications and supporting documents to apply for multiple jobs at once when applying. online.

Toddy said that upgrading the portal and working to bring the Navajo Nation application process into the digital age was made possible with the support of Navajo Nation President Buu Nygren who loves technology and uses it every day for his work. many, and you want to eliminate the hassle of applying. for tribal work.

Due to the problems with the applications and the significant disruption of the background checks that have created 1,400 tribal job vacancies, on January 9 President Nygren issued Executive Order No.

“Jobs are difficult to find,” he said. the job is unnecessarily complicated and difficult for applicants and hiring managers to navigate, creating a disincentive for qualified applicants to seek employment with the Nation.”

The Jobs Apply Portal home page opens with a “Job Search” that displays all available racial positions. Next is “Create Account” to make it easy to use. “Returning Candidates” allows applicants to track the status of their applications.

If applicants have questions or need to speak with someone, the portal has a phone number, 928-871-6330, and an email address, [email protected].

The first step for new applicants is to set up a position to browse job vacancies to find the best fit for them. The position will help the various tribal departments to learn more about the skills and experience of the applicant. A complete and well-written resume increases applicants’ chances of landing the perfect job.

“I think it’s great,” said Charlotte Bigthumb, director of the Human Resources Department. “This is something that should have been done a long time ago. We are very happy about it. We are advertising in the Navajo Times, the independent Gallup, our website and our Facebook page. So here we are. ”

He said he looks forward to seeing the portal reduce paperwork, reduce Civil Service opportunities, get Navajo job seekers into the positions they want, and help ease the workload of current employees.

“This is part of what the executive order was asking,” Bigthumb said. “It started with the support we got from President Nygren. The idea is a year old. We said we had to do it, and we did it.”
