Overview of Our Process: We take great pride in our thorough hiring process in the Novi Community School District (NCSD). For all candidates applying for a position within the NEA, NASA, or for an office staff position within NESPA, we follow a comprehensive procedure to ensure we select the best candidates. For external candidates, the process begins with an online screener, which will be sent to applicants via email. It is crucial for candidates to regularly check their email for invitations to progress to the next step. All internal candidates will bypass this screener and be moved on to the next phase of the process.

Upon successful completion of the screener and the first phase of the process, qualified internal and/or external 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 to 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 anticipate interviews being held in May and extending offers in early June.

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.
