What this site does

New Jersey runs its public-sector hiring through civil service title specifications: formal documents that spell out what a job involves, what it pays, and who qualifies. They are public records, but they sit scattered across the Civil Service Commission's website and are written in dense administrative language. NJ Civil Service Navigator pulls all 5,958 of them into one place you can actually search, and adds the context the raw specs leave out: what a role pays in today's dollars, where it sits on its promotional ladder, which agencies actually employ people in it, and how you would get hired for it.

It is built for the people who deal with these titles every day: job seekers weighing a move into government work, current state and local employees checking what a promotion pays, HR staff looking up a classification, and reporters or researchers working with workforce data. Every position page links its plain-language summary back to the official specification, and shows the source and the date the data was last refreshed.

Everything here is free and runs entirely in your browser. The data comes from official New Jersey records, but the project itself is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the State of New Jersey. Read more about the project or how the data is sourced.
