Job Application and Selection Process
Applications are accepted only for positions currently on open recruitment to the public. Once the application is received, your application will be reviewed and you will be notified by mail as to whether you meet the minimum qualification requirements for the job; date and location in Hawai`i to report for a written and/or performance examination, if required; and test results.
If you pass the examination, your name is placed on the eligible list in accordance with your test score. Eligible lists are good for a period of one year, and any vacancies arising during the course of the year may be filled through these lists. Even if you don’t initially score high in the examination, your name may be reached as time passes when higher scoring individuals are hired, decline a job, or find other employment.
Based on test scores and an individual’s availability, names are referred to the department that has the vacancy. The department/agency contacts these individuals, schedules and conducts job interviews. We do not disclose your examination score to the employing department/agency. Persons referred for a vacancy by our department then compete equally with each other. The department/agency contacts these individuals, schedules and conducts job interviews here on our island. The department may select anyone of those referred and interviewed, and will notify each person interviewed of the department’s selection decision.
For those recruitments which are registration and no examination is conducted, the Department of Human Resources will refer applicants’ names in alphabetical order and the department interviewing for the vacancy will receive the entire list of names.
Persons selected will need to take a pre-entry medical examination with one of our County Physicians to be cleared for work. Cost for the pre-entry medical examination is paid for by the County.
Benefits
If hired, you will provide important public services to our island community.
We provide excellent benefits, including: 21 days of sick leave and vacation yearly; 13 paid holidays + general election day during an election year; retirement plan; group life insurance; medical, vision, prescription drug, and dental plans; flexible spending plan; tax-sheltered savings and investment program; mortgage loans through the State Employees' Retirement System; and credit union membership. Persons who are hired may be required to pay union dues/service fees.
Thank you for your interest in employment with the County of Hawai`i.
