Pay Chart

The Human Resources Department recruits and refers applicants for available openings, conducts pre-employment checks to include drug test, criminal history and reference checks; however the hiring department is responsible for interviewing and selecting candidates.

To apply for a position with the City of Columbus you must submit an Application for Employment for the position for which you are applying. The position must be clearly stated on the application and must be a current job announcement. If you are interested in applying for a position in Public Safety, please apply at the appropriate department of choice.

Welcome to the Home Page of the Columbus Consolidated Government's Human Resources Department. I am often asked what type of person is likely to be a good and successful City employee...my answer is a very special person that loves their community and has a strong desire to provide service to its citizenry.

Although our salaries are competitive, one will never get rich working for the government. On the other hand, we do offer an exceptional package of employee benefits, a stable working environment and a wealth of satisfaction from being a vital part of building and maintaining a world class community. We are constantly on the lookout for special people that share our goals and are ready to accept the challenge of public service.
