Important Information Regarding The Application Process                       

Thank you for considering Doña Ana County as a potential employer.  The information below is provided to assist you in successfully navigating the application process. 

The first step is to complete an employment application form.  Once you have completed the application form, the system will not require you to fill it out again when applying for other opportunities.  However, the date accompanying the signature on the bottom of the application must be within six months of the date of the job closing for the application to be considered for the position. Please ensure that the information on your application is up to date each time you apply for a different position.  Only the information provided on this application is evaluated when determining compensation.  It is important that you ensure your application reflects the correct and current information for your work experience, education, personal information, etc. 

If you need to edit/update any information on your Employment Application after you apply for a position, you can do so by logging back into your account and accessing the application on your dashboard.  Your Employment Application is located under iForm(s) to Complete.  Ensure that you have electronically re-signed the application each time you want to submit a completed application for a position.   

After you apply for a position with Doña Ana County, there is a minimum qualification screening based on the education and experience requirements of the position. For applicants who successfully pass the initial qualifications screening, the county’s HR staff will then review and verify the applicant’s relevant experience, education and supplemental question responses. 

Applicants cannot proceed in the process if:

• Stated years of related experience cannot be verified within the work experience section of the application (e.g., not enough information provided, insufficient work history, experience listed is not applicable).
• Required education is not listed in the application.
• The application is incomplete in any capacity.
• The candidate only submits a resume. Doña Ana County does not utilize resumes during the recruitment process; however, you may use your resume to auto-populate portions of your application. See that information below in the iCIMS application information.

HR department staff then forward the applications of candidates who meet the minimum qualifications to the hiring department.  The hiring department will select applicants for interviews and proceed with the selection process.   Due to the high level of interest in some of our positions, not all eligible applicants will be interviewed.

Applying with Doña Ana County

iCIMS is the applicant tracking system used by Doña Ana County.   When applying, you will need to create a login and password for this system. Then follow the system instructions on ways to populate your application information. You can enter the information manually or use your Facebook, LinkedIn, or Google profiles or your resume to populate the fields on the application form.

Tips to Apply:

• If you already have an account, log in using your username and password. You will not be able to create another account using the same first name, last name, or email address.
• It is important that your application show all relevant education and work/volunteer experience you possess, including month and year start and end dates (e.g., March, 2012 – January, 2016). If you held several positions while employed with one organization, please detail each job individually. The assessment of whether you meet minimum qualifications and compensation level for candidates who are hired is determined by the amount of relevant education and work experience you show on the application.
• Include accurate contact information for your current and previous employers as this information is required to conduct reference checks.
