The State of Minnesota Hiring Process. Please review the FAQs for answers to commonly asked questions.Wondering if anyone can shed some insight into the hiring process for jobs with the state (DNR, DHS, etc.). I have so many questions about how long it takes. Minnesota has long required that an employer provide written notice of basic terms of employment to newly hired employees. Review the details of the job offer for accuracy, such as the following items: Position Number; Applicant; Start Date; Job Offer Components; Appointment Type. There are many options that you, as a county manager or supervisor, have in hiring staff. A position may be filled in a number of different ways. A letter is requested? If accepting a job offer, I presume details on salary and benefits are worked out.
