Sustainability Projects

Thank you for visiting the Washington County Sustainability Division web page! Washington County is advancing sustainable practices in our day to day operations. Our Projects page will give you a glimpse into some of the projects currently under way.

This month we are featuring: The Human Resources Division.

Our Human Resources division is saving Washington County money and energy!

Beginning this Spring, our Human Resources division will implement a new recruiting/selection tool called the NEOGOV Applicant Tracking System. It is an electronic tracking system that will provide faster processing times, significantly reduce paper use, and improve communication and customer service.  Under the current recruiting system, one application can require up to six sheets of paper! With NEOGOV, that number can be reduced to zero. In addition, the current system requires several hours of processing time in order to print, collate, staple, and file. The new electronic technology will reduce that time to allow for enhanced communication with applicants. By converting to an electronic tracking system, all County operations will reduce the energy consumption of printers and copiers, too.

Thanks Human Resources!
