How are Civil Service jobs filled?
• CS jobs are filled through a testing process. Individuals take examinations for specific classifications and their scores are placed on lists called registers. Scores appear on a register in order, from highest to lowest. Registers change each time new scores are added or removed. When a vacancy occurs in a department, those eligible to interview are referred in accordance with CS rules and notified by mail. Generally, the top three candidates are contacted for an interview opportunity.
