What happens after I apply for a job?

Application Review: All applications submitted in response to the job announcement are reviewed to identify the applicants who meet the minimum requirements for the job. Applicants who do not meet the minimum requirements are notified in writing. Applicants who meet the minimum qualifications will continue into the examination process if a classified position or to the committee review process if non-classified.

Committee Review: For non-classified positions a search committee will review applicant materials and determine first round interview candidates. The committee will forward their recommendations to the hiring manager for interview.

Examination Process: The state personnel system as defined by the Colorado Constitution requires that all jobs within the classified system be filled through competitive tests of merit and fitness. The number and types of examinations will depend on the position being filled as well as the number of qualified applicants.

Testing Information: Within the state personnel system you may be considered for vacancies only if you have completed the appropriate test(s). You may retake a written multiple-choice test after one year from the date you were last tested. Performance tests (typing, equipment operation, etc.) may be retaken at the discretion of the agency administering the test. All other tests may be retaken after a six-month period. If you retake a test, only the most recent scores are retained on file.

Hiring Manager Interview: The hiring manager will conduct the final interview and make their selection.
