Guide to Applying for Employment
SNOCOM strives to hire the finest candidates available. Finding candidates that meet these qualifications is not a quick or simple process. SNOCOM therefore requires a multi-step testing and screening process which can take up to four months from the time the position is posted to the actual hire date.
Steps in the process may include the following:
- Completion of an initial application and questionnaire; followed by a screening process through PublicSafetyTesting.com to verify that they meet our minimum requirements for the position. (A minimum PST score of 85% is required.)
- Typing Test with a required speed of 35 WPM with 90% accuracy to move forward in the process.
- Profile XT assessment (via internet) that measures an applicant's job-related qualities that make that person productive. Thinking and Reasoning Style, Behavior Traits and Occupational Interests are examined.
- Completion of a
Criticall test (computer
based multi-tasking and data
entry assessment test).
- A panel interview comprised of members from the SNOCOM dispatch team and representatives from our police and fire agencies.
- A final interview with the SNOCOM Director and/or Operations Manager will be scheduled for applicants that are recommended by the panel to move forward.
- Applicants selected by the Operations Manager and Director will undergo a pre-employment polygraph and psychological examination. Additionally, fingerprinting and a thorough background investigation will be conducted.
To begin this process, interested applicants should apply at PublicSafetyTesting.com.
