Recruitment Process

Overland Park’s online employment application makes it simple to view and apply for open positions.

Submitting an Application

Applicants can apply for multiple positions with the same online application. Resumes and cover letters should be attached to the online application.

City computers are available at City Hall for those applying for open positions.

Interviews

Interviews are not automatic. If you are selected for an interview, Human Resources department staff will contact you by phone to schedule the interview.

The City has pre-employment requirements which include a drug test, background check, criminal records check, and physical, if applicable. Public Safety positions require additional pre-employment testing.
