The current State of NJ (SoNJ) Employment Application is a PDF file that gets downloaded, filled out, and returned to the HR department. The process is outdated, time-consuming, costly, and prone to human error. It may even deter some tech-savvy interested parties from applying and limiting the pool of qualified applicants.

The current SoNJ Employment Application is a PDF file that gets downloaded, filled out, and returned to the HR department. Updating the form from PDF to digital will not only help the HR department track applicants throughout the process but will also streamline the process and make it easier for people seeking employment with the DEP to submit an application. This can also potentially allow for a bigger pool to choose from when positions open because it will be more accessible.
