How do I learn about an opening with Macomb County?
External applicants can find a list of available positions in Workday. Current employees must apply through the Job Hub in their Workday account.
When are new positions posted?

How do I submit an application?
Macomb County utilizes Workday to receive applications for vacancies. External applicants can create a Workday account, view and apply for available positions in Workday. Current employees must view and apply for available positions through the Job Hub in their Macomb County Workday account.

You will need to provide an email address and create a password. After your account has been established you can begin applying to open positions by selecting Apply.
What is important to know about completing the application form?
Be sure to read the posting so you understand the minimum qualifications required for the job. It is important to be as complete as possible when filling out the application. Many postings have supplemental questions which must be completed as well. It is not sufficient to indicate “see resume” on the application. Applications will be rejected if not completed thoroughly.
When can I apply for a posting?
You can only apply for positions that are posted. You may submit an online application for a posted position at any time. You must apply during the posting period. We do not accept applications submitted after the deadline.
May I apply for more than one posting at a time?
Yes, once your Workday account is created, you may apply for as many postings as you wish online.
Do I need to submit a new application and resume for every posting I apply for?
Yes, you must submit a separate application for each position that interests you, but you do not need to create a new Workday account for each application. Your Workday account can be re-used for as many postings as you wish. You can update your account at any time before submitting your application.
Can I be notified of future postings that may be of interest to me?
Yes. External candidates should log into their Workday account and click “Job Alerts” to create and personalize job alerts. Current employees must go to the Job Hub in their Macomb County Workday account, and click “Job Alerts” to create and personalize job alerts.
Workday account holders who create alerts will receive email notifications each time a position that matches the candidate's personalized alert preferences is posted. Account holders who no longer wish to receive alerts for specific job categories can unsubscribe to job alerts.

External candidates should visit their Candidate Home Page in Workday. Internal candidates should check the My Applications tab in the Job Hub of their Macomb County Workday account.
