The Human Resources Department’s function is to coordinate the efforts of all City departments in the selection, hiring, evaluation, promotion, training, and development of a staff of dedicated and qualified personnel to serve the citizens of Columbia.

Our primary goal is maintaining a dedicated, professional staff to provide quality support services to the City and the public we serve. Major emphasis continues in the area of recruitment/retention of minorities and females. Special efforts are directed toward evaluation, training and development opportunities and employee contribution and recognition to increase retention, provide upward mobility, create high morale and reduce turnover in a competitive labor market.
