HOW TO POST A JOB

Please see this page for details.

LOGIN / SIGN-IN

On the sign-in screen, you’ll see a green button for Sign in as a member. If you’re with an SAIS member school, it’s important to click that button to login so that the system recognizes your SAIS member status and provides discounted pricing. If you’re with an SAIS member school but you’ve never logged into the SAIS website before, please create an account so that you can be recognized as a member.

NON-MEMBER EMPLOYERS: CREATING AN ACCOUNT

If you don’t have an SAIS website login, you can either:
(A) create an account at the SAIS website and use that for login, or:
(B) create an account using the Employer Registration link.

SAIS member schools are required to sign-in with an SAIS website account via the “Sign in as a member” button.

JOB SEEKERS: CREATING AN ACCOUNT

Please use the link for “Job Seeker Registration” to create an account for job searching. You’ll have the option to upload your resume. After doing so, the system will parse/scan your resume to create a detailed profile, which you can edit as needed. You can upload multiple versions of your resume. When you apply for a job, you can select which resume you want to include.

The SAIS Online Community (often referred to as listservs) can be found at https://connect.sais.org. This member-only resource includes communities for most major roles at SAIS member schools.

When you create a login account at SAIS, you are automatically subscribed to the one or two most applicable communities based on your job function. The complete list of communities can be found here, and this same link is available at the top of the website.

After being subscribed to a community, any new posts will be automatically emailed to you. If you wish to unsubscribe, you’ll find a link for this at the bottom of every email. Additional options appear at the bottom of all listserv emails (sample below). You can also visit the communities page mentioned earlier to leave (unsubscribe) from a community.

To start a new conversation in a community, you must join that community. There are two ways to post a new message in a community: (1) send an email to a special address, or (2) visit https://connect.sais.org, login, and click the New Topic button. To start a new topic by email, you can find the special email addresses to send to at this link, or by clicking on Help/FAQ at the top of the SAIS community website.

Please note that when anyone replies to a message from connect.old.sais.org, the replies go to all users currently subscribed to that community, subject to their settings that control how frequently they are notified.

For additional details, please see these additional resources here.
