Our goal is to hire the best talent into the city, so we identify the best-qualified candidates within the applicant pool that fit our ideal candidate profile. Those candidates are sent to the hiring manager for review. The hiring manager decides who to interview. You will find the ideal candidate profile in the "About You" section of the job posting.

We cannot move you forward if you do not meet the required minimum qualifications as defined in our job specifications. You will also find these listed in the "About You" section of the job posting.

We conduct interviews by phone, by video conference and in person in order to accommodate candidates. In-person interviews can be one-on-one or with a panel of multiple individuals. You should expect more than one round of interviews where you will speak with the hiring manager, potential colleagues and a member of department/agency leadership.

We will share the details with you in advance so you know what to expect and how to prepare.

After the interviews, the hiring manager decides to whom to offer the job. The hiring manager or recruiter will reach out directly with a verbal offer. This is a great opportunity for you to ask any additional questions you may have before accepting the offer. After you accept the verbal offer we prepare and send an offer letter. You will need to sign in to your Workday account (the same hiring system you used to apply to the position) to review the offer letter and officially select Accept or Don’t Accept. Once you accept the written offer, the city will begin pre-employment screening.
