Classification and Compensation Analysts help the City achieve our equity and wage parity goals by conducting investigations and surveys concerning the duties, responsibilities, qualifications, and salaries of City jobs.

Employee and / or Labor Relations Analysts enhance the City's goal to provide a fair and welcoming work environment by ensuring consistent compliance with the City's collective bargaining agreements.

(One year of experience will be considered equivalent to 30 semester or 45 quarter units of college coursework.)

Verification of Education and Experience Applicants may be required to submit verification of qualifying education and experience at any point during the recruitment and selection process. If education verification is required, information on how to verify education requirements, including verifying foreign education credits or degree equivalency, can be found at http : / / sfdhr.org / how-verify-education-requirements.

Please review our articles on Employment Application and Minimum Qualifications and Verification of Experience and / or Education for further information.

Applicants will receive a confirmation email from notification@careers.sf.gov that their online application has been received in response to every announcement for which they file. Applicants should retain this confirmation email for their records. Failure to receive this email means that the online application was not submitted or received.

After application submission, candidates deemed qualified must complete all subsequent steps to advance in this selection process, which includes the following :

Human Resources Analyst Core Exam (Weight : 100%) Candidates self-certifying meeting the Minimum Qualifications will be invited to participate in the online Human Resources Analyst Core Exam. Candidates will be sent a web link via email that will allow them to take the online Human Resources Analyst Core Exam that is designed to measure knowledge, skills, and / or abilities in job-related areas which have been identified as critical for positions in the Human Resources Analyst classification.

This computer-administered test can be taken at home or at a time and location of one's convenience, but only within the time period specified on the test notification. Candidates must have access to a computer and reliable internet connection to participate in this exam.

Score Banking : Scores attained on the Human Resources Analyst Core Exam will be 'banked' for three years, starting from the date of the examination. This means that, during this three-year time period, candidates need not take this test again. Rather, if another announcement you applied to and are deemed qualified for requires the Human Resources Analyst Core Exam and is held within one year of your Human Resources Analyst Core Exam date, your score will be automatically applied to that announcement. However, after one year, a candidate has the option to either (a) apply their test score to the other announcement or (b) re-take the test. Re-testing is permitted no sooner than one year from the date of the test and only in association with a candidate's eligibility for another announcement to which the candidate has applied and is deemed qualified. If a candidate opts to re-test, the re-test score becomes the candidate's official score since it is the most recent.

If a significant modification is made to this exam in the future, the application of 'banked' scores may no longer be appropriate. In such a rare circumstance, candidates with 'banked' scores would be required to re-take the exam sooner than the three-year period specified above should they apply to another job opportunity where the modified exam is used.

A confidential eligible list of applicant names that have passed the civil service examination process will be created, and used for certification purposes only. An examination score report will be established, so applicants can view the ranks, final scores and number of eligible candidates. Applicant information, including names of applicants on the eligible list, shall not be made public unless required by law. However, an eligible list shall be made available for public inspection, upon request, once the eligible list is exhausted or expired and referrals resolved. The eligible list / score report resulting from this civil service examination process is subject to change after adoption (e.g., as a result of appeals), as directed by the Human Resources Director or the Civil Service Commission.

Upon passing the exam, candidates will be placed on the eligible list for a period of
