Human Resources Division - Hiring Process

Interview:
After submitting an application, candidates may be contacted to schedule an interview. On the day of the interview, candidates will be interviewed either by a panel of interviewers all participating in one meeting, or in a series of one-on-one interviews with various members of our Agency. The interview process provides each candidate with the opportunity to tell us about their qualifications, skills, and experience. In addition, during the interview process, candidates will learn more about the job, the Agency, and the benefits of working in state government.

Note: Only qualified candidates who are selected to interview will be contacted by our office.

Pre-Employment Screening:
If you are extended an offer, upon your acceptance, we will conduct a thorough pre-employment screen. This screen may include, but is not limited to verifiying work and education history, a criminal background investigation, and a drug screen.

Hire:
Now that you have successfully completed the hiring process, your next step is to report to work. Although, this is the last step in the hiring process, we expect it will be your first step toward a fulfilling career with the Office of the Secretary of State.

All qualified applicants will be considered, but may not necessarily receive an interview. Only applicants selected for interviews will receive a letter of the position's status. Please Note: Due to the large volume of applications received by this office, we are unable to provide information on your application’s status over the telephone.
