Hudson County Division of Personnel - Jersey City, NJ

The Workforce Backbone of Hudson County

The Hudson County Division of Personnel, located within the Administration Building Annex on Pavonia Avenue, is the central agency responsible for managing the human resources and workforce development needs of the county government. Serving thousands of public employees, this office ensures compliance with Civil Service regulations and oversees recruitment, benefits administration, and labor relations.
