Take your first steps toward a rewarding career with Oakland County.

Here’s a quick look at what you can expect from our hiring process. We’ll guide you through each stage, share what you’ll need, and keep you updated along the way, whether you’re a first‑time applicant or returning for a new opportunity.

Please note that all positions close at midnight on the posted closing date. For continuous examinations, applications are accepted until enough qualified candidates are identified, so we encourage you to apply promptly. Due to the high volume of applicants, not everyone will be selected for an interview. Candidates chosen to move forward are typically contacted within 30 days of the posted closing date.

Returning user? We have a new Career Site! As part of the transition, all candidates, even those with previous accounts, will need to create a new login to apply.
