Please Note - As of Aug. 27, 2025, a hiring freeze is in effect for the Colorado Executive Branch. Positions that have been posted after Aug. 26, 2025 have been either exempted from the hiring freeze or have been approved for a waiver and the hiring process may proceed.
Exempted positions include those that are critical to protecting the health, life and safety of Coloradans. The hiring freeze is not required of Institutions of Higher Education, the Colorado Department of Education and agencies headed by other statewide elected officials (Departments of Treasury, State, and Law). In agencies where this hiring freeze is not required, the agency may still implement a hiring freeze based on budgetary need.
State agencies have been given approval to post positions that are not exempt or have a waiver, with the understanding that these positions will not be filled until after the hiring freeze ends on Dec. 31. All postings that are not exempted or have a waiver must clearly state that the position will not be filled until Jan. 1 or later.
Please contact the human resources personnel of the corresponding State agency with any questions about a specific job posting.

Residency Requirements
The Colorado Constitution, Article XII, Section 13 requires that applicants for state classified government jobs must be residents of Colorado, unless the work to be performed is primarily within 30 miles of the State of Colorado’s border. Sometimes, this requirement is waived for a recruitment to a specific position, not an individual.
