Student Employment—Student Help and Resources

Our Web site look and features has changed. If you are unable to log into the Web Based Job Board, Please call us at 831-479-6413.

The new system requires that students have a working email address. You must  click on the link you will be sent in an email after you register or  your registration to use the web site can  not be approved.  Check your spam file if the email does not arrive shortly after you submit your registration.  Once you have been approved you will receive an email with your new system password.

Please note that the ecampus recruiter site no longer is available. Our new site is Symplicity. They purchased the ecampusrecruiter site in May of 2008 and all of your data has been transitioned to the new system.

Creating a User Name

Your user name must be unique. If you are bounced back, it may be because your user name has been taken, and you need to try something else. Good choices for user names are your name or email address. You can use the same user name as you use to log in on to register on-line or other Cabrillo locations.
