1. How do I apply?

Current Maricopa County employees are considered internal candidates. Internal candidates can apply by logging into their Workday account, going to the menu bar located in the upper left-hand corner, selecting "career", and then "find jobs".

External candidates can apply by going to Jobs.Maricopa.gov, creating an account using an email and password, and applying to the desired position(s). 

2. Can I apply for more than one job at a time?

Yes! You may submit your application for consideration to various positions across our departments. 

3. How do I know if I qualify for a job?

Qualifications such as work experience and education level vary from position to position. We are proud to offer positions for candidates of all levels, from entry-level to executive. 

Our minimum qualifications are listed under the “We Require” section of the job post. To move forward in the first stage of the recruitment process candidates must meet the minimum qualifications. Every application is thoroughly reviewed by one of our Recruiters (a real-life person)!

The “We Also Value” section lists our preferred qualifications. These qualifications are in addition to the minimum qualifications already listed. Unlike the minimum qualifications, the preferred qualifications are not required but rather, desired skills. 

If you meet the minimum qualifications for a position, we encourage you to apply! 

4. Do I need to attach a resume and/or cover letter?

Including a resume or cover letter is a personal preference. Unless the job post specifically states so, we do not require any attachments to be included with your application. 

We do encourage you to include all your experience in the application as we consider all previous work experience. 

5. How can I check the status of my application?

Internal candidates can check their application status by logging into their Workday account, going to the menu bar located in the upper left-hand corner, selecting "career", selecting “more (3)” under the “view” section, and selecting “my applications”. 

External candidates can check their application status by going to Jobs.Maricopa.gov, logging into their account, selecting “candidate home”, and “my applications”.

6. How long is your hiring process?

Our hiring timeline varies depending on the position and department, but we strive to meet our business standard of 45 days to hire.

7. How can I be kept informed of new vacancies in my area of interest?

External candidates can stay up to date by setting up job alerts. Simply create or log into your account, select “job alerts” in the upper right-hand corner, click on “create job alert” and follow the prompt. Once submitted, you will receive a notification when a new position opens that matches your selected job criteria.

8. Do you offer hybrid, telework, or flexible work schedules?

We value work-life balance and are proud to offer various flexible work options including the ability to work remotely or opt for a 4-day work week. Flexible work options are dependent on the position’s duties and the department’s needs. Eligible positions will cite their flexibility in the job post.
