Application Review

Initial reviews are conducted to ensure applicants meet minimum qualifications for the job, have Colorado residency as required for most positions, and meet customer service requirements for all Colorado government positions.

Human Resources and Subject Matter Experts will conduct an in-depth analysis of  application materials looking for specific job-related knowledge, skills, abilities, competencies, and any preferred or special requirements. Other comparative analyses may apply depending on the position. 

A top group of candidates is then referred to the hiring manager..  

Candidate Consideration

If you are referred for final consideration, the hiring manager will contact you. You may be scheduled for a phone interview, an on-site interview, or both.  

Collaboration is an important part of what we do at DORA, therefore, your interviewers could be potential teammates, or members of other teams.

We'll call your references, and we may also conduct a background check depending on the job requirements.  This may slow the process down a bit, but we'll do our best to keep things moving!

If you are the selected candidate, the hiring manager will extend a job offer. If you accept, they will work with you to decide on a start date, and provide some preliminary information for your first day.
