10/15/2010 - CMS is excited to announce an update to the iRecruit navigation that will change the way it looks and make it easier to use will take place on Saturday night (10/16/2010).

We expect to be offline for several hours during this upgrade most likely between 12:00am and 4:00am on Sunday morning. Applicants will receive a notification that we are undergoing some maintenance and will be back online in a few hours.
