Selection Process
Each position that we hire has its own screening committee. After the first review date or Closing Date has passed, the committee will begin reviewing the applications and determining who they would like to invite for interviews. This may take several weeks after the first date has passed.
Applications will usually be screened for the required knowledge, skills, abilities and training at least twice during the initial phase of our process. Only the best qualified applicants will continue with the selection process, which will include structured interviews and reference and background checks. Some positions may require various written and aptitude tests. If you are among the finalists, you will be notified usually within three weeks after the closing date. If you are not a finalist, you will be notified by mail. All applications will remain on file for one year. Hiring may be contingent upon a satisfactory medical exam, psych and pre-employment drug screen.
Compensation
Under normal circumstances, an employee will be appointed at the first step of the salary range as it appears on the Job Announcement. If a Department Head believes it is necessary to make an appointment above the first step, the Human Resources Director and the City Manager must approve the request. In reviewing such requests, consideration will be given to qualifications of a candidate, market conditions and internal relationships with similar positions.
