Step 1 – Find Your Dream Job & Apply!
All Marin County jobs require you to complete an application to participate in the hiring process. Once your application is submitted, you will go through the evaluation process for that position.
Step 2 – The Evaluation Process
Human Resources will review all applications to determine if you meet the minimum qualifications for the position. Your application may also be evaluated for additional experience and education. If you meet the requirements of the review, your application will move to the next step in the process which may include one or more of the following:
- A written exam
- An oral assessment
- A physical ability assessment
- Computer skills testing
If you pass the evaluation process, you will be placed on an eligible list in order of standing from the highest score to the lowest passing score, when applicable. The highest scoring candidates from the eligible list will be certified and sent to the hiring department for the selection interview.
Step 3: The Interview Process
If you move to the interview process, you will be notified of how to schedule an interview. Typically, the hiring process includes two separate interviews. Interviews are generally conducted by a panel of experts to assess your qualifications and provide you with more specific information about the position. Interviews can be held in a variety of ways including:
- A recorded one-way interview. In this type of interview, you will receive the questions in advance and have one week to complete a recorded response to each question.
- A virtual panel interview. These are typically held via Zoom or Microsoft Teams.
- An in-person panel interview typically held at the primary work location for the position.
Step 4: The Pre-Hire Process
If you are successful in the interview process and made an offer of employment, you may be required to complete a pre-employment physical. Depending on the position, you may also need to complete a livescan or background investigation.
