New Candidates for Employment
Search for Employment Opportunities

To guide you through the application process, use this New Candidate How-to-Apply Checklist.
Register for an Account & Record Your Username/Password
You register for an account by providing your name, email, phone number, and creating a password. Please record your username (email address) and password, as you will need this information to check the status of your application(s) for employment.
Update ‘My (Candidate) Presence’ & Resume
After creating an account, new candidates will click on ‘My Presence’ (top right of the webpage following account registration) to complete their profile with work experience, education, skills, and upload a resume. Your candidate presence will help to support quick application to multiple opportunities and, especially, if you anticipate returning for seasonal employment each year.
Check the Status of Your Application
After you have applied, you may check the status of each application by signing into your account with your username (email address) and the password that you created at the time of application for employment. You will then navigate to ‘My Presence’ (top right of the webpage) and ‘My Applications.’

Didn’t Find the Right Opportunity?
Join Our Talent Community: If you did not discover an opportunity of interest today, you may still register for an account and update ‘my presence’ to create a profile with your contact information and resume. The Talent Management Team may use this information to consider you for future opportunities. Please note: Joining our talent community is not an application for employment, rather, a great way to stay in touch – if you are interested in a published opportunity, you must apply to be considered for that opportunity. You are invited to check the website frequently for new positions.
More Information on the Hiring Process
Chautauqua has many unique employment opportunities, so candidate outreach and hiring timelines are variable. Qualified candidates will be contacted directly for an in-person (or virtual) screening or interview by a member of the Talent Management Team. Candidates who are selected for employment will complete an offer and onboarding using the same login credentials (email/password) that were used to complete the application. Please retain this information for easy access in the future.
Flex-to-Hire Options (Seasonal Employment)
Chautauqua receives thousands of applications for 1,600+ seasonal opportunities. Applicants not immediately selected to advance in the hiring process for their “first choice” position may have their application considered for other open positions. Human Resources supports a ‘flex-to-hire’ option for candidates, who will be applied directly to opportunities that are actively hiring and for which they are best qualified. Candidates will receive an email alert for each opportunity where they are applied and can also view application status by position under their candidate account.
