What does Civil Service do?

The Civil Service Commission is responsible for establishing and maintaining a merit employment system in City government for the Citizens of Spokane. The merit system ensures a fair, competitive selection process for City government positions. Civil Service in Spokane covers approximately 1900 positions in 315 different job classifications.

Civil Service staff develops job-related examinations to test the relative fitness of applicants for City employment. Staff issues job announcements, advertises, and makes personal contacts as part of the recruitment process. Staff administers examinations, ranks candidates on eligibility lists for positions, and certifies names of eligibles to the hiring departments for consideration.

Civil Service Staff maintains the position classification plan for the city, and ensures that all job classifications are current and reflective of the work performed.
