How eRecruit works

The National Archives uses the online system eRecruit to advertise vacancies and receive applications from candidates. The system allows candidates to:

• search for opportunities  
• download selection documentation
• identify the contact officer and closing date for each vacancy
• submit an application online
• receive email correspondence
• access their previous applications submitted through eRecruit.

Who sees my application?

Only the following people will be able to view your application:

• you
• the selection panel responsible for assessing your application
• the Delegate (the Archives' manager who has the authority to approve selection decisions)
• the People and Corporate Support section (who manage recruitment for the Archives).

What happens after I submit an application?

When you submit an application through eRecruit:

• You will receive an email advising that your application has been received.
• If your application is incomplete, you will receive an email reminder 3 days before the closing date.
• If you have been selected for further assessment, you will be contacted by the selection panel.
• If you have been successful, you will receive written advice from the Archives about your promotion, engagement or movement. You will also receive the forms and other information required prior to your start date.
• If you are unsuccessful, you will receive notification and an offer to receive feedback from the selection panel.

First time user?

Go to eRecruit and identify a job for which you'd like to apply. Choose ‘begin' and follow the prompts. The system will assign you a logon ID, which you should retain along with your password.

Your logon ID and password allow you to:

• apply for vacancies
• access your current application and any previous applications
• update your personal details.

Already registered?

If you have already registered with eRecruit and have a logon ID and password, you can login and start a new application, update your personal details or view previous applications.

Forgotten your ID and password?

If you forget your logon ID and password, the system will ask you to enter your email address and will email your logon ID and password to you. You can then access eRecruit and continue with your application.

No internet access?

If you do not have access to the internet you can still apply for a job using hard copy. Please type your application and mail it to:
