One of the most-trafficked features at PublicCEO is our Job Board. With more than 50,000 visits in the last year, the value in increasing visibility in the local government job market is undeniable.

However, posting permanent jobs listings for local governments is only one part of local government staffing needs. Cities, counties, special districts and other municipal governments need consulting services, contractors, designers, and more. To provide our readers, their governments, and their companies additional services, we are proud to announce that we are beginning to compile RFPs, RIOs, and other procurement documents to disseminate to our readers.

We hope you find this as valuable a service and tool as our Jobs Board has become.
