Overview
The Candidate Self Service (CSS) system is designed to allow you to view current job openings for the County and apply for them online. Using the CSS system is simple, and consists of five main tasks:

1. Create your candidate profile (new users only)
2. Review available job postings 
3. Apply for any postings that interest you
4. Take any required assessments
5. Keep your profile current and accurate

What do I need in order to use CSS?
To use the CSS system, you should use a computer and browser that meet the following requirements:

• A current-generation browser with a screen resolution of 1024x768 or higher. Firefox 3.6+ or Internet Explorer 8.0+ are recommended. Other browsers and/or screen resolutions may work, but the functionality or display may not be optimal.
• Your browser must allow popups from the CSS site.
• Your browser must accept cookies from the CSS site.
• For security reasons the operating system and the web browser should be relatively current, and updated with the latest security patches.
• Any PC that can run IE 8 or other industry standard compatible browser can be used to access CSS, but higher CPU speed and higher network bandwidth will give a quicker response time and a more enjoyable experience.

How long will it take?
This will vary greatly. If you are a returning user, and know which job you want to apply for, it can take as little as a minute or two. If you are a first-time user, and need to create your profile, you should allow up to 30 – 60 minutes, depending on the amount of information to be entered, your network speed, your typing speed, etc.

What if I have questions or trouble accessing the system?
You may contact the Department of Personnel Services at (808) 270-7850. Office hours are 7:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. HST, Monday through Friday (except holidays).
