Human Resources

The Human Resource Department will respond to job-related or benefits related inquiries if the applicant is selected for an interview. It is very difficult for the Human Resource staff to respond to the volume of inquiries for all possible applicants.

Generally, you do not have to live in O'Fallon or Missouri to work for the City. If driving a motor vehicle is part of the job description, you will be required to have a valid driver's license that corresponds to your state of residence.

It is not necessary that you provide a resume with your application. There is space on the application form to upload a resume if you wish.

All job openings are advertised in the following places:

• City of O'Fallon website
• O'FallonTV
• Various internet job boards, such as Indeed.com, LinkedIn.com, etc.
• www.stltoday.com (Select positions)

Although there is no set time required to select an applicant, every effort is made to reach a prompt decision. The length of time depends on the number of applications to be screened and the nature of the position. Normally, a decision will be made between 15 to 45 days after the job advertisement has expired.

You can apply for as many positions as there are current openings; however, a separate, complete application is required for each position for which you are applying. In addition, we do not accept resumes or applications unless there is an open position.

No. Once the job vacancy is closed and the successful candidate has been hired, the application forms for the position are placed in a closed file. Your application is considered only for those vacancies for which you specifically apply.

The City of O'Fallon, MO, makes every effort to fully comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act. In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, the City will provide reasonable accommodations to qualified individuals and encourages both prospective and current employees to discuss potential accommodations with the employer. If you need assistance or an accommodation for the application, interview, or a particular testing process, please contact the Human Resources Office at 636-379-5438. It is imperative you provide 48-hour advance notice of the accommodation you are requesting.

All sections of the application must be complete. INCOMPLETE APPLICATIONS WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED. If you need accommodations in the application process, please let Human Resources know your needs.

You will be notified at a later date if you have been chosen for an interview. The Human Resources Department cannot respond to the volume of phone, email, or fax requests for application forms.

All applications must be submitted online.

Anyone can apply for a position with the City. Most jobs have a required level of education, experience, skills and abilities, which will be set forth in the job announcement. In addition, the Department Directors or the Manager of Human Resources can remove applicants from further consideration if he/she:

• Does not possess the minimum qualifications.
• Does not pass all tests and examinations.
• Has established an unsatisfactory employment or personnel record as evidenced by a reference check of such a nature as to demonstrate unsuitability for employment.
• Does not meet employment standards of the City.
• For those employees dealing with children as part of their employment, if the candidate has a documented history of being hostile or unfriendly towards child welfare in the Division of Family Services records.
• Has provided any substantive information that is found to be untrue or intentionally misleading. False statements or misrepresentations shall be cause for termination when they are discovered, regardless of the longevity of the employee.

After the closing date for a particular job vacancy announcement, all applications are reviewed by the hiring department or a member of the Human Resources staff. Applicants who do not meet the minimum requirements are removed from consideration. Qualified applicants are reviewed by the department that has the job vacancy and that department decides who will be interviewed.

Applicants for some positions that require particular knowledge and skills may be tested. In addition, the City requires pre-employment drug testing. Police applicants are given special testing dates during the time that the City is recruiting for candidates.
