We’re committed to hiring the best talent for the city. Each application is carefully reviewed by a recruiter to ensure it aligns with the job’s specific requirements, qualifications and the ideal candidate profile. The most qualified candidates are sent to hiring managers to decide who to interview.

You can find the ideal candidate profile and required qualifications in the “About You” section of the job posting. Please note, meeting the required qualifications is essential for moving forward in the hiring process.

We conduct interviews by phone, by video conference and in person. Interviews may involve one-on-one or panel discussions with hiring managers, potential colleagues and department leadership. You can expect multiple rounds of interviews. We’ll provide detailed information about the interview process in advance to help you prepare.

After the interviews, the hiring manager will select the best candidate for the job. The hiring manager or recruiter will reach out directly with a verbal offer. Feel free to ask questions before accepting. Once accepted, you’ll receive a formal written offer through your Workday account. After reviewing and accepting the written offer, the city will initiate pre-employment screening.

Before your start date, we’ll guide you through pre-employment tasks to ensure a smooth onboarding process. Your first day will include a warm welcome from your team and supervisor, setting the stage for your new role. Some positions have a six-month probationary period. This trial period includes specific training requirements, which vary based on your role. You’ll receive more details about this on your first day.

Once you submit a job application for a position you cannot apply to that same position again or make changes to your application. If you are contacted for an interview, you can provide any additional information to the recruiter or hiring manager at that time.
