Georgia Department of Administrative Services — Human Resources

Georgia civil service test guides

The Georgia Department of Administrative Services oversees state HR policy, with job listings through the Team Georgia Careers portal.

Georgia state employment is administered through Team Georgia Careers, the official job portal managed by the Department of Administrative Services (DOAS). Georgia moved away from a centralized examination system; most positions now use structured application reviews and interviews.

Selection processes are set by individual agencies and vary by classification. Some law enforcement and safety positions retain formal written exams. Review each job posting for details on the selection method.
