PERSONNEL DEPARTMENT INFORMATION
Civil service positions are filled according to NYS Civil Service Law to meet County recruitment needs.
While many do, not all positions require a civil service examination. These positions may be filled by the appointment, by the appointing authority or agency, of individuals meeting the minimum qualifications, if any.
To fill competitive positions, candidates must sign up for and participate in a civil service examination. With a passing score (70), you will be added to an eligible list to be used for hiring by all departments and agencies under the jurisdiction of the Putnam County Personnel Department.
A provisional appointment may be made pending the administration of a future civil service examination, only if an eligible list for the title does not currently exist.
