The City does not accept unsolicited applications. When vacancies occur they are posted on the City's website, typically for a specified period of time in which applications are accepted only through the City's website. It is extremely important to follow the instructions found on the job posting and application, and any other required application materials. Incomplete applications, late or missing application materials, including those which do not follow the instructions, may not be considered.

The process used to evaluate an applicant's qualifications may include, but is not limited to an evaluation of the City of Bozeman Application and required attachments, a performance test or work sample, a structured interview, and reference and background checks.  Due to a high volume of interested and qualified applicants, not all minimally qualified applicants will be interviewed. Applicants will be notified of the status of their applications.

The City of Bozeman makes reasonable accommodations for any known disability that may interfere with an applicant's ability to compete in the recruitment and selection process or an employee's ability to perform the essential duties of the job. For the City to consider any such accommodation, the applicant must make known any needed accommodation.

The Veteran's Public Employment Preference Act and the Persons with Disabilities Public Employment Preference Act provide preference in public employment for certain military veterans and people with disabilities or their eligible relatives. Applicants wanting to claim either veterans or disability preference must provide the appropriate documentation of eligibility with the application. The required documentation may include a DD-214 showing the discharge status; a document issued by the Office of the Adjutant General of the Montana National Guard certifying service; or a PHHS Certifications of Disability form. Contact your local Montana Vocational Rehabilitation Services Office, Department of Public Health and Human Services for details on obtaining persons with disabilities preference certification.

The City of Bozeman does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, creed, sex, age, marital status, national origin, political ideas, or perceived or actual gender identity, sexual orientation or disability in employment or the provision of services. This policy does not preclude discrimination based upon bona fide occupational qualifications or other recognized exceptions under the law.

The Montana Human Rights Act requires the City of Bozeman to make and keep records relevant to the determinations of whether unlawful employment practices have been or are being committed. The City of Bozeman Equal Employment Opportunity Applicant Survey (attached to the application) once completed, will be separated from your Application. The survey information will be kept confidential, used only for statistical reports and other lawful purposes. The information you and others provide will be used to monitor the City's recruitment and selection practices. This form is optional: failure to complete this form will have no impact on any employment decision.

In accordance with the Immigration Reform and Control Act, the person selected must produce within three days of hire, documentation that he or she is authorized to work in the United States.
