Candidate & Employment Record Services (CERS) is divided into five distinct sections: Certifications Unit, Records Unit, Folders Unit, Background Unit, and the AIF Review Team.
The Backgrounds Unit reviews the applications of all candidates on an eligible list to ensure that they meet City background standards. The process includes a review of work experience, admitted conviction information, and any special license, education or training required. Staff fingerprints new hires to the City and notifies departments of any potentially disqualifying criminal history information received from the Department of Justice.
If you received a notice requesting submission of proof of education, proof of a valid California Driver’s License, Work History, etc. please email documents to: personnel.backgrounds@lacity.org
In response to Mayor’s Executive Directive No. 15, Departments are responsible for ensuring the Additional Information Form (AIF) and supporting documents are properly completed and submitted via email to per.aifs@lacity.org
