California’s online employment portal, CalJOBS, has been experiencing an extended outage, according to the state’s Employment Development Department (EDD). Geographic Solutions, Inc., the platform’s vendor, has been facing a nationwide outage that affects both CalJOBS and similar portals in other states. The EDD said that the provider is investigating the issue and working diligently to restore the system as soon as possible.

CalJOBS, which connects job seekers with employers, has been inaccessible to users since Monday, according to internal EDD information. As an immediate consequence, the EDD has temporarily waived the requirement for unemployment insurance recipients to register and upload their resumes on CalJOBS. However, Californians are still expected to actively search for work by creating profiles on other job search sites and responding to job openings.

An inside source revealed that the system failure has also affected Paid Family Leave. To cope with the technical downtime, some managers are resorting to more traditional methods such as issuing directives through paper and pencil so they can be added to the system when it becomes operational.
