Answering the Call to Civil Service

The City fills many of its positions through the Civil Service Process—a process guided by the New York State Civil Service Law. The law is in place to help ensure that the hiring process is competitive and fair. Generally, the City uses examinations to measure a potential candidate’s “merit” and “fitness” for the particular position. Taking an examination is the start of the hiring process that may lead to you getting a job with the City.
