Applicant Responsibilities

  • You are required to provide a valid email address to register as an online applicant with Washoe County. You will receive an email confirmation that you are registered to use Washoe County's online application system once you submit your registration. Please retain your registration confirmation for future reference regarding your registration as an online user with Washoe County.
  • Before submitting your application, it is your responsibility to ensure that the information you provide is true, accurate and complete.
  • Applications are only considered complete if all areas are filled in. This includes the education and experience categories, if applicable.
  • After submitting your online employment application you will receive confirmation that your application was successfully submitted. You are advised to make note of your "Applicant ID" number. This is your identification for the purpose of tracking your application for employment with Washoe County.  We recommend that you print a copy of your application after submitting.
  • If you do not receive a confirmation that your application was successfully submitted, it is your responsibility to contact Washoe County Human Resources. If you do not do so, you may not be considered for the position(s) you applied for.
  • Cookies must be enabled as they are used to track a user's session ID. Find out How to Enable Cookies.

 

Washoe County Employees Only*

  • Do NOT go to 'New Applicant Registration': Washoe County employees do not need to register. Employees should use their ESS user name and password to log on to the online application. However, for those employees that do not have an ESS user name and password, you will need to register as a first time user.
  • The online application will automatically populate an employee's work/County email address in the 'Email Address' field. To have electronic communications sent to a different email address, simply enter another email address in the 'Email Address' field.
  • Use of Washoe County Employee Number: If you are a current Washoe County employee you will be asked to provide your employee number when submitting your application online. If you do not know your employee number (personnel number), you can find it on the top of your salary statement under your name or in your Employee Self Service (ESS) "Time Recording" screen.  Your employee number is NOT your badge number.
  • Washoe County De Minimus Use policy applies to use of the online application system when using a Washoe County computer.
