EconTrack Enhancements

The Association has added several new features to EconTrack, the 蝌蚪网's job market information board. EconTrack was launched in 2018 to provide candidates with the status of open positions, such as the dates on which invitations are sent and fly-outs or offers are issued. All registered users, including 蝌蚪网 members, are now welcome to participate in keeping hiring milestones up to date. Additionally, a milestone that was entered or verified by an institutional administrator includes a certification symbol. To ensure privacy, EconTrack does not include comments or any information about individual candidates under consideration. Entries are added to the EconTrack board by employers who opt in through the JOE Network or register the entry directly on EconTrack. For more details and to view the board, visit /econtrack.
