County Human Resources is responsible for recruiting to establish lists of eligible candidates to fill vacant positions in all County departments. Recruitments may be posted (www.sbcounty.gov/jobs) with a specific filing deadline or on a continuous basis as needed to fill vacancies.
- Applications are received and screened for minimum qualifications by Human Resources Analysts.
- Candidates who meet the minimum qualifications are advanced and invited to participate in the testing process; candidates who do not meet the minimum requirements will be notified and will not advance.
- Candidates successful in the testing process are placed on a ranked eligible list based on their test scores and notified of their list placement. Those who are not successful will also be notified of their results.
- As vacancies occur, Human Resources will certify lists of top candidates from the eligible list and refer to the hiring department to conduct interviews.
- The hiring department will select candidates to interview and make a conditional job offer.
- Candidates who receive a job offer must pass a background investigation and pre-employment physical prior to appointment.
