Gary, I sent you an email reply to your question about this. But for others who may be interested in this position, this is the information from HR.
Healthcaresource.com is the system that University of Maryland, Baltimore uses as the application tracking system. If an applicant doesn't want to include their SSN they can put in xxx-xx-xxxx and that should allow them to skip over the question for now. Also the university requires the final candidate to pass the background check before hiring. Hope this helps, Bohyun ________________________________________ From: Code for Libraries [[email protected]] on behalf of Gary McGath [[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, October 04, 2014 8:57 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [CODE4LIB] Job: Senior Web Developer (Half-time with benefits on a pro-rated basis) at University of Maryland, Baltimore On 10/3/14 1:21 PM, [email protected] wrote: > Senior Web Developer (Half-time with benefits on a pro-rated basis) > University of Maryland, Baltimore > Baltimore I was somewhat interested in this position, but the application website has scared me off. First, the application redirects to healthcaresource.com, whoever that might be. Second, I had to set a popup blocker exception to proceed. That's unnecessary bad design. Third and fatal, this third-party website wants the last four digits of my SSN. -- Gary McGath, Professional Software Developer http://www.garymcgath.com
