The Hiring Process

The Town of Breckenridge typically requires an interview, reference checks & background
check(s) before a final offer of hire is extended. The Town of Breckenridge is also an "at-will" employer, consistent with Colorado statute.

Jobs are usually listed with a closing date... This means that you must meet the application requirements by this date. Refer to each job posting to determine the specific requirements.

Some jobs are open until filled... This means that the supervisor will review applications on a periodic basis and notify candidates selected for an interview. If you want to know the status of your application, you may contact the supervisor.

Our supervisors schedule interviews.... The supervisor responsible for hiring will review all applications, then select and SCHEDULE individuals to interview based on qualifications. Only the most qualified candidates are interviewed. The supervisor will contact you if you are scheduled for an interview. Usually, it takes a minimum of 1-2 weeks after the posting or job announcement closes before interviews take place or are even scheduled. Some recruitments may take longer.

If you are not selected to interview... you may or may not receive a phone call, email or letter advising you that you were not selected. However, you can usually check with the supervisor within a reasonable amount of time, and inquire regarding the status of your application.

If you are selected for hire... A pre-employment drug test, Colorado Bureau of Investigation and/or other background reviews may be required, at which time you may be made a conditional offer of hire.  The supervisor will check references and conduct a background review before making you a formal job offer and scheduling you for new hire orientation. 

Starting work... In most instances, you may not be able to begin work until you meet all conditions of hire. You will not be able to begin work until you complete orientation in HR, and this must be scheduled by your supervisor (no walk-in permitted for new hire orientation).
