A Civil Service List consists of all candidates who passed an exam, ranked in score order. An established list is considered active for no less than one year and no more than four years from the date of establishment. For more information visit DCAS’ “Work for the City” webpage at: https://www1.nyc.gov/site/dcas/employment/take-an-exam.page
Applicants can apply and pay for exams online, and can take an exam either online or at a community-based test center. After each exam, the City establishes an eligible to hire list that consists of all applicants who passed the exam, and is available to each City agency with open positions.
The goal of this site is to improve access to information for active civil service exam takers. With close to 1.5 million views, the Civil Service List on the NYC Open Data portal is one of the most frequently accessed datasets.
