Who will see my application if I use Criterion?

Criterion is a cloud-based HR solution that manages employee data in a centralized, secure system. Your information will be available to the Human Resources Department and the interviewer(s) for the specific job opening for which you apply. Greene County does not share its database with other companies or localities.

When will I receive a response from my online application?

Upon successful submission of your online application, you will receive an “Application Submitted Successfully” message and a separate e-mail confirmation. Periodically check your e-mail account for application status updates.

Applicants will be contacted by the department hiring manager if selected for an interview. Please, no phone calls.

Why didn't I get an interview if I met the requirements on the posting?

Due to the large volume of applications, it is often necessary for the recruiter to screen beyond the minimum requirements of the posting. Recruiters may screen additional years of required experience, specific licenses or certifications, and additional education requirements as well as recency of experience and stability of employment.

Do you require drug testing, background checks and physicals?

Greene County may conduct pre-employment drug testing. In most circumstances, applicants must report to the testing site within 24 hours of being made a contingent job offer. All job offers are contingent upon successfully passing the later phase of our pre-employment screening process which may include: a mandatory pre-employment drug test, a criminal background check, pre-employment physical and references. Greene County will conduct a criminal background check on each prospective employee. Applicants must disclose any conviction information on their application materials. Traffic violations are considered convictions as a result; applicants must disclose any traffic violations (speeding tickets, running a stop light, etc) on their application materials. If an applicant does not remember the specific dates, they may obtain a copy of their driving record from the Department of Motor Vehicles where the violation occurred.
