Application forms (Adobe Acrobat format)
Selection Process
The City Of Decatur posts job vacancies as soon as we are aware of the opening. Job opportunities are normally posted on our internet site, outside the City Manager's Office, and other outside sources as the need arises.
Upon receiving the application, we enter the information into our applicant tracking system, and the application is filed according to position title(s). The Personnel Coordinator reviews the applications for minimum qualifications and skill sets that are pertinent to the department's needs.
If the application matches the department's needs, the Personnel Coordinator will forward the application to the department for final review and will coordinate interviews according to the department's availability. Background checks, motor vehicle record checks, work history check, and a pre-employment physical and drug screen are required as a part of the selection process. Public Safety positions require additional assessments, which are coordinated by the department after successful results of the interview process.
If a candidate successfully completes all parts of the selection process, the Personnel Coordinator will contact the candidate for a formal job offer.
Please note: due to the numerous applications that we receive, we are unable to respond to all applicants regarding the status of their application. We will only contact those applicants in which we are considering for a position.
Furthermore, failure to complete detailed information (i.e. job responsibilities, employment dates, salary information, employer history, background history information, etc.) may result in your application not being considered for possible job opportunities.
