Human Resources
Welcome to the City of Oberlin's Human Resources Department. Our
Mission is to provide leadership in the development and implementation
of sound personnel systems based on merit principles and to attract,
develop, and retain a diverse, well-qualified and professional
workforce that reflects the high standards of the community we serve.
We take this mission very seriously. Moving beyond the traditional
role of personnel management, my staff and I are striving to create a
collaborative environment that rewards creativity and outstanding
performance. We are committed to being strategic partners with all City departments to ensure that the City has the talent and resources needed to provide great services to the community.
The Department provides a full-range of human resources services
including recruitment and selection, classification and compensation,
benefits administration, employee safety services, labor relations, and
training. This site will provide you with information on employment
opportunities, job descriptions, benefits, employee labor agreements,
and the City of Oberlin Civil Service Rules.
We believe that the City’s greatest assets are its employees, and we
take great pride in managing the systems that support a highly
productive, innovative, caring, and customer-oriented workforce.
Please take a moment to explore employment opportunities with the
City, as well as some of our service areas including the City of
Oberlin’s recruitment process, job descriptions and classifications,
employee benefits, equal employment opportunities, and labor agreements.
Warm regards,
Darlene Colaso
Assistant City Manager
Human Resources Administrator
