In response to the FY26 Budget, Governor Moore announced a hiring freeze for the Executive Branch of the State of Maryland. As such, the State is temporarily pausing recruitment efforts for most positions.
However, certain classifications -- e.g. in public safety -- are exempted from the hiring freeze and so are still actively being recruited for. Applications for these roles are encouraged and you may see the complete list of those active recruitments below. Thank you for your continued interest in opportunities with the State of Maryland.
Federal Workers Hiring Initiative
The Moore-Miller Administration remains committed to making it possible for public servants who raised their hand to serve our country to stay in Maryland. Federal workers have years of expertise and knowledge that are an asset to our state. As part of this initiative, critical and hard-to-fill job areas will be opened for a streamlined hiring process.
No positions are currently available under this initiative. In the meantime, if you are interested in continuing your public service with the State of Maryland, please see the full list of regular positions below.
