Civil Service Examinations

Continuous Recruitment means that applications are accepted continuously and that examinations are held periodically. If you pre-file an application, we will notify you when the test is scheduled.

Promotional means that applications are accepted only from current Tompkins County Civil Service employees.

Open To Public means that applications are accepted from residents of Tompkins or one of the six contiguous counties: Seneca, Tioga, Cortland, Cayuga, Chemung, and Schuyler.

Training & Experience means that there is no written examination. Candidate scores are based on education and experience.

Applications must be completed and submitted by 4:30 p.m. on the final filing date of each posting.

Allow plenty of time to complete your first application. The information will be saved in the system and pulled forward into your subsequent applications.
