New York State Civil Service NYS Civil Service positions-NYHELPS in Nassau and Suffolk Counties, New York
Overview New York State agencies are hiring for thousands of critical positions open across the state. To help agencies fill these positions, the Department of Civil Service has developed the NY Hiring for Emergency Limited Placement Statewide (NY HELPS) Program. This program streamlines the appointment process to allow State agencies to hire diverse, qualified permanent employees quickly and without examinations. New State employees hired under the NY HELPS Program will be appointed on a permanent basis. Job Titles There are thousands of positions open in the NY HELPS program. They range from direct health care to Highway Maintenance Supervisors.
Traditionally, the titles filled under the NY HELPS Program required job candidates to compete in a competitive examination to be considered for employment. For the duration of the NY HELPS program these titles will be filled via non-competitive appointment, which means examinations are not required, but candidates must meet the minimum qualifications of the titles for which they apply.
