We hope providing you with a rough understanding of the hiring process in Lincoln County can help ease the burden.  Please note, some positions may have additional steps. If you have any questions, we recommend reaching out to the specific job posting contact for more information.

All applicants are required to first complete an online Lincoln County Application. Once the application is submitted, a cover letter and resume should be submitted to the specific person provided in the listing, either by email, mail, or dropping it off at the office in Davenport.

Applications will be accepted through the posted time frame, at which point the team will review applications and determine who to invite for a first-round interview. In-person interviews are preferred, but we do accommodate phone or zoom interviews. Depending on the position, there may be a second-round interview, requests for more information (i.e. work samples), or a skills test.

Lincoln County retains the right to extend the application period, re-post a position, and/or make other alterations to fit the county’s needs. All hiring decisions are at the discretion of the department.

All full-time positions receive benefits, including medical and dental insurance, retirement, paid time off, 13 holidays, and more. To learn the specifics, visit the Lincoln County Employment page.
