Job Postings

Welcome to the State of Illinois web-based electronic hiring system. This site provides posting and application information for current vacancies within the Departments under the jurisdiction of the Governor.

At the present time, online applications are not accepted for promotional grading. Current state employees must complete a Bid Form and submit it to the hiring agency along with a copy of their employment application (CMS 100) before the end of the posting period.

The search criteria below may be used to narrow the vacancy choices based on occupational group, agency preference and/or county preference. Once the search criteria have been applied, a list of current postings matching those criteria will be provided. Applicants may then select a particular posting to obtain additional application and grading information for that posting/title.

If the applicant is a first time user of the electronic hiring system, a personal account will need to be created including a Username and Password. A user will be directed to the login step which will enable the creation of an account at the time the user selects the 'apply' link at the top of a posting. After the account has been established, an application may be created by clicking on the 'Build Job Application' link. This application can be saved and used to apply for more than one job opening. It is important that all relevant education and experience is documented on the application. Each user must create a separate Username and Password. Multiple users should not create applications or apply for positions utilizing the same Username and Password. Doing so could compromise an applicant’s grade(s), eligibility and/or ability to be considered for vacancies.

Applications may be rejected if incomplete. Online applications are stored on a secure site. Only authorized employees and hiring authorities have access to the information submitted.

Login - Applicants who have already submitted applications to CMS, Division of Examining and Counseling may Login to check the grading status.

NOTE: Applicants logging in to the online employment system using a public access computer (kiosk, library, unemployment office, etc.) must properly LOGOUT. Failure to do so may compromise the security of an applicant’s personal information.
