Unable to Login/Reset Password for External Job Application

Issue

When logging in or attempting to reset the passphrase (password) on an external job application account, the reset email is not received.

Environment

  • Job Application Portal (HRProd)

Information

The external job application login uses a user-created username, not the email address provided when registering for an account.

Cause Check

  • Ensure that the username is being used, not the email address.
  • Check the spam folder of the email used during the registration process.
  • Clear web browser cookies and cache.
  • Attempt to reset the password using the "Forgot Password" link.

Resolution

The Human Resources Department is responsible for assisting with forgotten usernames or passphrases. They can be reached at hr@grcc.edu or (616) 234-3972.

  • When attempting to log in or reset the passphrase, use the custom username chosen during the account creation process.
  • If the username is unknown, click the Forgot Username link on the login page.
    • This will prompt for the email used to register and will send the username to that address.
  • If the "Forgot Username" link does not return an email, it is possible the account was registered with a different email address.
