Department of Human Resources

One important goal of our Civil Service Reform initiative has been to establish a more dynamic, integrated recruitment program to serve all departments in the City. Recruitment will become increasingly important given the significant number of retirements in the coming years and vigorous competition with other jurisdictions and the private sector to hire the next generation of qualified City employees.

DHR has already established a number of recruitment tools to benefit your department.

• DHR has now purchased a large exhibit booth and other displays for job fairs and community events (both indoors and outdoors) which is available for your use.
• We have also prepared a tri-fold, full-color brochure which highlights the benefits of city employment. 
• We now have a master list of upcoming events and job fairs which you might want to target as part of your department’s recruiting efforts.
• We have a new recruitment video that highlights city employment
