As part of the City’s ongoing efforts to maintain clear and consistent personnel practices, we are pleased to share the City’s new Hiring Policy, which is now in effect. This policy has been developed to establish a standardized hiring process that will be used across the organization, while recognizing that certain departments and collective bargaining agreements may have additional or different requirements.
The Hiring Policy provides guidance on the City’s recruitment and selection process, including job postings, application review, interviews, candidate selection, conditional offers of employment, and pre-employment requirements. Its purpose is to promote consistency, fairness, and transparency throughout the hiring process.
While this policy is primarily intended to guide hiring managers and supervisors, we encourage all employees to review it so they are familiar with the City’s hiring practices and expectations.
Police and Fire: Please note that this policy does not supersede or replace your department-specific hiring procedures or any applicable provisions contained within your collective bargaining agreements. Where a collective bargaining agreement establishes a different or more specific hiring process, those provisions will govern.
A copy of the policy is attached below for your reference. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Human Resources Department.
