Case Study: Springfield Public School District achieves streamlined hiring and reduced paperwork with Tyler Technologies' Munis

Save Time, Create Efficiencies, Reduce Volume Winner of 2012 Tyler Public Sector Excellence Award — Organizational Productivity

Springfield Public School District (57 schools, 24,000+ students, ~3,800 employees) faced an outdated, paper‑intensive hiring process that generated long applicant lines, excessive manual data entry and thousands of paper forms (about 10,000 applications on file) handled by a 10‑person HR team. The volume and decentralization of site‑based hiring created delays, high office traffic and inconsistent access to applicant and reference information.

SPSD implemented Tyler Technologies’ Munis Self Service and Applicant Processing modules — posting jobs online, letting candidates apply and update profiles, automating reference questionnaires and centralizing application files. The electronic workflow cut paperwork and HR foot traffic, sped reference responses and hiring turnaround, improved consistency in candidate selection and user satisfaction, and delivered measurable time and cost efficiencies (winner of Tyler’s 2012 Public Sector Excellence Award).
