The Human Resources division is located within the CSD Administration Building at 8820 Elk Grove Blvd., Elk Grove, CA 95624.

Directly contact Human Resources at 916-405-7190 or e-mail us at HumanResources@CosumnesCSD.gov with your changes. If you did not include an e-mail address on your application it is very important that you inform us of any physical address changes. Even though we contact applicants via their e-mail addresses, an applicant's official postal service address is still used for official records. It is important that we have your correct mailing address.

Each job announcement lists the required qualifications. Read the requirements carefully to see how they match up to your education and/or experience. The position may require college course work, a specific amount of experience, a license or certificate or set of knowledge and abilities in a specific area. Based on your knowledge and experience, you should be able to determine whether you meet the requirements of the position. If in doubt, submit your application and Human Resources will determine whether or not you meet the requirements. NOTE: Employment background, academic degrees, licenses, certifications and other credentials are subject to confirmation as part of the appointment process.

Human Resources will review your application using the criteria set forth on the job opportunity announcement. It is very important to include all requested information. Please list all paid work experience, licenses, professional affiliations, classes you have taken, training you have received, applicable volunteer work and any other special qualifications you posses which relate to the position for which you are applying. Part time experience will be prorated accordingly. 

Human Resources will review all the information you provide; however, your minimum qualifications must be clearly stated on the application form. Failure to include requested information (including writing "see resume" on the application in area of experience) will result in rejection of your application. Without accurate and complete information, we will not be able to determine whether or not you meet the minimum qualifications for the job.

A supplemental questionnaire consists of questions related to the experience, education, training, knowledge, skills, and abilities needed to perform the job. For some vacancies, the answers to the supplemental questionnaire may be the initial testing/examination process. Please answer each question completely and concisely. When a specific job announcement includes a supplemental questionnaire, specific instructions on completing the questionnaire will be outlined within the job announcement.

Conditional job offers are made "pending" a TB test, and may include a DMV driving record, physical examination/questionnaire, background check and/or fluid drug screening depending on the position. If you are working when you receive a conditional job offer DO NOT quit your job until you have been instructed to do so. Employment background, academic degrees, licenses, certifications and other credentials are subject to confirmation as part of the appointment process. The District complies with the Immigration Control and Reform Act of 1986. If offered a position, you will be required to present identification and/or work authorization paperwork. Only documents identified in law or regulation are acceptable. After you have been offered and have accepted a position, be sure that you understand when you will begin, where and to whom you will report on the first day, and whether there are any other steps the hiring department would like you to take before starting work. Be sure to get the telephone number of the person who contacts you for hire in case you have further questions.

If you are not immediately successful in being offered a position, you may be considered for other vacancies that occur in the same classification. If you see that a particular classification opened for a subsequent recruitment, you must reapply. All individuals are encouraged to apply for employment with the Cosumnes Community Services District. The District is an equal opportunity employer. All applicants are given the right to non-discrimination, and the right to non-harassment based on race, religion, national origin, disability, age (over 40), gender, pregnancy (including childbirth and related medical conditions), marital status, gender identity, medical condition, genetic information, military or veteran status, sexual orientation, or any other protected characteristics under applicable law. 

Try not to be discouraged by the length of time taken in the recruitment, or if you do not get offered a position the first time around. We understand that the hiring process in the public sector can seem like a long time; however, we want sufficient time to evaluate each applicant thoroughly. If you are not selected in your first attempt, we encourage you to re-apply for a separate applicable job opportunity.

Applications are accepted on a continuous basis and processed on a predetermined schedule and/or on an as-needed basis. Any persons qualified for the position may apply. These recruitments may close at any time. If you see a position that is designated "Continuous" that you are interested in it is best to apply as soon as possible.
