Online Employment System Update

Can I create an account or apply through the current Online Employment System (OES)?

Answer

We are one step closer to launching our new NeoGov job application system in late October! To ensure a smooth transition to this faster and user-friendly job application system, we are having to make a few temporary adjustments to get everything ready for you.

Beginning September 9th, 2026 at 5:00 p.m.: applications for most job classes will no longer be accepted, and new Online Employment System (OES) accounts cannot be created.

Don’t worry though—if you have an existing OES account, you can still log in to view your information and save a copy of your data. Thank you for your patience during this transition.

We’re with you every step of the way. We strive to provide transparent, relevant information about the new job application platform and website as soon as it becomes available.

Please continue to monitor our social media and website for information on job closings and the NeoGov launch. We appreciate your patience as we streamline for success and build a faster, better job application platform for the State of Alabama!
