Why should our government agency advertise on govtjobs.com?
With almost 100,000 local government websites in the USA, it is impossible for job seekers to search all these sites to find job listings. Govtjobs.com is a niche website for the professional government employee seeking employment. Currently, over 800 other websites link to our site providing even greater exposure to an agency’s job posting(s). Remember, no person can search 100,000 websites looking for employment.

Can I post my resume on govtjobs.com?
We do not have a resume bank on our website because of "Equal Opportunity” statutes. Most governments are required by law to be "Equal Opportunity Employers". As a result, a position must be advertised so everyone has an "equal opportunity" to apply for the position. To our knowledge, governments do not "hand pick" or make a selection at the exclusion of others. Our primary purpose is to serve governments.
