and current Thurston County employees. Any person who meets the minimum position

or individual on the recall or rehire lists, who meets the minimum position
qualifications, is encouraged to apply.
Sheriffs Office Positions (Civil Service):

to the Civil Service process. The Civil Service Commission gives competitive
tests to determine the fitness of candidates to work in the Sheriff's Office.
Applicants that pass all tests are ranked on the Employment Eligibility List
according to their test score. Applicants placed upon the eligibility lists are
then processed through a vigorous background and reference check process.

business/service related expenses and must be responsible for any profit or loss
