The Recruitment Process
When you apply to the Los Angeles Superior Court, you apply to become part of a quality pool of candidates - many of whom are selected to join one of our variety of critical teams.
The application process can look a little different depending on the specific job opportunity - but for most opportunities, the process will take up to 4 - 6 weeks to complete and look something like this...
- APPLY
You've submitted your application. One of our dedicated team members will review your application to determine whether you meet the minimum requirements for the opportunity.
- ASSESS
You've met the minimum qualifications and are invited to participate in an online assessment. These assessments are scored and will determine your placement on the eligible list.
- ELIGIBLE LIST
You've passed your assessments and have been notified that you have been placed on the eligible list. You are now eligible to fill vacancies for the opportunity you applied for!
The recruitment process may vary.
Some recruitments include assessments, and some recruitments do not. Some recruitments take a little longer to complete than others.
No matter what, a Human Resources team member will notify you of the outcome after each step of the recruitment process, and we are here to answer your questions along the way!
What is an eligible list?
An eligible list is a pool of candidates who have successfully completed all steps of the recruitment process for a specific job opportunity. Your place on the eligible list is determined by your assessment score. When a hiring team needs to fill a vacancy, they will review and interview candidates from the eligible list. Candidates are considered by managers based on their placement on the eligible list.
It's important to know:
- You can be on multiple eligible lists at once - you are not limited to one list.
- Eligible lists expire. If you are not selected from a list before it expires, you will need to reapply to be placed on the new list!
Application Best Practices
Please carefully review the information below to ensure a seamless and successful application experience!
The Court will reject incomplete applications. Refrain from leaving required sections incomplete. Be sure to include all relevant employment history in the Work Experience section of your application.
The Court will not utilize a resume to determine whether you meet minimum or selection requirements and will not consider a resume as a substitute for a fully completed application.
An application missing required documentation will be considered incomplete. The Court reserves the right to verify all submitted documentation.
Clearly specify which work experience meets the required job qualifications and clearly describe your experience for each position.
Include beginning and end dates and hours worked for each job you held. The Court cannot qualify experience that we cannot count.
If you are placed on an eligible list and referred for a vacancy, hiring managers will receive your completed application - put your best foot forward!
The Court will communicate with you throughout the application process via email.
