How it works in government and public sector
Police and fire: mentoring and peers
Sworn police and fire jobs are hired through civil-service exams, academies and departmental processes, so we don't match them for hiring. Mentoring and peer matches fit well: a new officer and a veteran from another department, or two captains comparing notes.
Agencies can post jobs
Planning, public works and other non-sworn roles can be posted like any job, where the agency's hiring rules allow.
Code enforcement
In Texas, code enforcement officers register with TDLR; list the registration with its number.
Public works projects
Firms can name public agencies as clients, and "Public works" is a project type for project work.
Peers across cities
Planners and public works managers in different cities face the same problems. Free.
Moving to the private side
Pick "Changing fields" to be matched on a new role, with mentoring from someone who made the move.
Roles with detailed checklists
Each starts your skills checklist from O*NET's work activities and tools for the role. Not listed? Pick your occupation anyway; the picker covers every field.
Project and contract work. Studies, inspections and public works subcontracts can run as project work; agencies follow their own procurement rules. How project work runs
Questions
Why no hiring for police and fire?
Those jobs are filled through civil-service exams and academies set by law and local rules. Matching around that wouldn't be honest, so we keep to mentoring and peers.
Can I network while employed by a city?
Yes. Networking is free and discreet; follow your agency's rules on outside work.
