All applicants are then given an alias after which their applications become part of the database, to be browsed in detail by schools all across the US. If a school finds an applicant they would like to learn more about, they contact the company which then facilitates the process. The important question then, is how much does this cost an applicant? Well, it is free for school systems, but applicants are charged four per cent of their first year’s gross salary only on receiving a job. The site is user-friendly and claims to be a worldwide service. Applicants from all fields of education are accepted, from pre-K to college. Subjects also range from the most common to the obscure. The guarantee of finding a job, however, is not given.
