NY HELPS – No Examinations Required

New York State agencies are hiring for thousands of critical positions open across the state. To help agencies fill these positions, the Department of Civil Service developed the NY Hiring for Emergency Limited Placement Statewide (NY HELPS) Program. This program streamlines the appointment process to allow State agencies to hire diverse, qualified permanent employees quickly and without examinations. New State employees hired under the NY HELPS Program will be appointed on a permanent basis. To be eligible for NY HELPS jobs, candidates must meet the jobs’ minimum qualifications and any other conditions of employment. 

To view open jobs, please visit State Jobs. To narrow your search for NY HELPS jobs, click on “Jobs Open to the Public.” Select "YES" in the NY HELPS field. Press submit. This will bring up all of the NY HELPS jobs that are available. Once you find the job in which you are interested and qualified, review the entire job posting. Directions to apply will be specified on each individual job posting.

All Exam Fees Waived! Please note that civil service exam application fees are now waived for all New York State civil service exams through December 2025.
