What the Employment Services Specialist family covers
Employment Services Specialist is a single-title family in the New Jersey civil service classification plan: one title code, with no numbered rungs above or below it. Every title in it is a state title, so the employer is a state department, commission or authority rather than a county or municipality.
Personnel titles administer the system this site documents: they run the exams, maintain the eligible lists, classify positions and handle the layoff and grievance machinery. That gives them an unusual footprint, since every department needs the function and the Civil Service Commission sets the rules for all of them. Training, affirmative action and equal employment titles sit in the same neighborhood. Local jurisdictions that have adopted Title 11A hire their own versions, which is why several of these families carry local as well as state codes.
