Official Website

of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

    The .gov means its official.

    Local, state, and federal government websites often end in .gov. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania government websites and email systems use "pennsylvania.gov" or "pa.gov" at the end of the address. Before sharing sensitive or personal information, make sure you're on an official state website. 

    Merit System

    Agency and delivery center HR professionals responsible for talent acquisition functions can access additional information in the merit hiring resources for HR professionals site.  You must have permission to access the site.
