University System of Georgia Jobtrak

The Georgia Hire System allows students and alumni of the University System of Georgia to deposit their resumes into a statewide database for review by employers. The Georgia Hire System links directly to Jobtrak which is housing the resumes for the University System. Once inside Jobtrak, students and alumni should follow the links to where they can register their resume(s). Employers should follow the links within Jobtrak to review Georgia Hire resumes.

Additionally, Georgia Hire allows employers to post job openings which Georgia students and alumni may find of interest. To post a job, contact Jobtrak at 1-800-999-8725 or enter the Georgia Hire System and follow the employer links to posting a job. Be sure to indicate to Jobtrak that you were referred through the Georgia Hire System so that we get the credit for the referral.

Also included within this website are links to career service offices within the State of Georgia.
