Welcome to HRES
Human Resources Employee Services
Dear Prospective Employee,
On behalf of the Chicago Public Schools (CPS), we congratulate you on your recent job offer.
This is an exciting time to work for CPS. We have made dramatic strides to help make CPS become the nation’s best urban public school system. We have worked hard to ensure that the children of Chicago are afforded a top quality education so that they can become successful participants in our communities, and we look forward to having you join us in this effort.
Employment with CPS is contingent upon verification of your employment eligibility which will be determined after you complete our enrollment process. This includes a physical exam, tuberculosis test, a fingerprint background check, and the submission of required documentation, all of which are described in further detail in this enrollment package. Employee Services will also validate your eligibility to work in the United States and that you meet the required qualifications for the position you have been offered.
To begin the actual employment procedure, the hiring manager at the unit that provided you with a job offer must submit an online Staffing Request to Employee Services via the DS2 system.
Our team is committed to providing you with impeccable customer service. If at any time you feel that we are not doing our best to meet your needs, or if you have any questions or concerns about the enrollment process, please feel free to call 773-553-1142 or e-mail EmployeeServices@cps.k12.il.us, and one of our representatives will be happy to work with you to resolve your concern.
Welcome to the Chicago Public Schools! We look forward to working with you.
Sincerely,
