Application Timeline

We always remember what it's like to be on the other side of the table!  We like to keep recruitments flowing and candidates informed at all stages of the process.

  • Application Submitted

    Applications must be submitted by clicking "Apply" on the job posting. You should have received an email right after you submitted your application indicating that your application was successfully received.   


  • Application Review

    Applications with applicant names redacted are reviewed and referred to the hiring manager once the position closes. Continuous openings are reviewed weekly and referred to the hiring manager. 

  • Interview

    If the hiring manager is interested in learning more about your qualifications, you will be notified by email to schedule an interview.  This is a wonderful opportunity for us to learn about you and for you to learn more about us! In some cases, you may be asked to attend a second interview. 

  • Final Hiring Steps

    If you are offered a position with the City of Fitchburg, you will then need to complete a criminal background check.  Some positions have other pre-employment requirements. 

  • Welcome to the Team!

    We will finalize your start date following the background check and send you more information through our onboarding portal.  We are so happy you're here!
