The Town of Guilderland provides equal employment opportunities through recruitment, selection, retention, and advancement in all job classifications, without regard to race, color, religion, sex, age, national origin, or disability, and to ensure that all matters affecting employees’ terms and conditions of employment are administered in a manner consistent with applicable federal, state, and local law. Please note: Candidates will not have to take an exam for either of these titles. These are Hiring Emergency Limited Placement (HELP) Program-designated titles. The HELP Program is a temporary program designed to help local government employers address current staffing issues. Traditionally, the titles filled under the HELP Program required job candidates to compete in a competitive exam to be considered for employment. For the duration of the program, these titles will be classified as non-competitive and categorized as “HELP Program” positions. At the close of the program, these positions will revert to competitive class status. Employees occupying positions filled through the HELP Program will be granted competitive class status without the need to participate in a competitive exam. More information about exams and the HELP program may be found on the Albany County Civil Service website at: https://www.albanycountyny.gov/departments/civil-service/faqs
