The City reviews applications after the posting closes. Job postings are usually open for about two to three weeks. The applications are individually reviewed by a staff member in the Human Resources office. Selected applications are then reviewed by the hiring supervisor, who selects applicants for interviews. Interviews are then conducted and a candidate selected. Many factors can affect this process, but most positions are filled about one to two months after the job posting closes. All applicants will receive a notification about the disposition of their application.
Many factors can affect the City’s hiring process, including the number of applications, pool of applicants, and the specific qualities or qualifications being sought. Every job opening is unique.
