New Job Vacancies: What is NY HELPS?


New York State agencies are hiring for thousands of critical positions open across the state. To help agencies fill these positions, the Department of Civil Service has developed the NY Hiring for Emergency Limited Placement Statewide (NY HELPS) Program. This program streamlines the appointment process to allow State agencies to hire diverse, qualified permanent employees quickly and without examinations. New State employees hired under the NY HELPS Program will be appointed on a permanent basis.


Current State employees may apply for and be appointed via NY HELPS to vacant positions for which they meet the minimum qualifications.


There are thousands of positions open in the NY HELPS program. They range from direct health care to Highway Maintenance Supervisors.


Traditionally, the titles filled under the NY HELPS Program required job candidates to compete in a competitive examination to be considered for employment. For the duration of the NY HELPS program these titles will be filled via non-competitive appointment, which means examinations are not required, but candidates must meet the minimum qualifications of the titles for which they apply.


PLEASE SEE THE NYS HELPS VIDEO ON OUR CSEALOCAL104.ORG WEBPAGE!


Job titles included in the NY HELPS program can be viewed in the Civil Service Glossary of Titles (GOT-IT) search tool, using the button below. You can review job duties, minimum qualifications, salaries and do a keyword search on titles.



I have also linked directly to the Parks & Rec Title list if you follow the button below, note that HELPS titles are clearly marked.




I've also queried a search on all NYS HELPS vacancies in the Western Region on the statejobs.ny.gov website, all current vacancy postings are in the linked button below:
