Frequently Asked Questions

All current employment opportunities/job postings can be found on our Employment Opportunities page.

The City of Gainesville uses an online employment application system. Applications may be submitted only for positions that are currently open and posted on the Employment Opportunities page. To submit an application, click "apply" next to the posted position on the Employment Opportunities page. You will be directed to create an account or sign in to a previously created account with our online application system.

You will be notified by email when your application is forwarded to the department for review. The selection process typically takes a minimum of two to three weeks from the final closing date. Some hiring supervisors take several weeks to select applicants for interviews. When a final candidate is selected and hired, candidates not selected for the position are notified by email.

You may submit a resume by uploading it to your online application. Any other materials should be kept for an interview, unless otherwise noted in the job announcement.

Notify the Human Resources Department by calling (940) 668-4590. If you do not notify the Human Resources Department and the City is unable to reach you, your application will be dismissed from consideration.
