Scoring:

After a posting has closed, Employee Relations reviews the applications based on the minimum qualifications of the position. Selection Methods are then used rate and rank the applicants based on the needs and requirements of the position.

Selection Methods:

Selection methods are job-related assessments designed to objectively measure knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary for a position. Rating methods include, but are not limited to:

Applicants are rank-order listed based on the rating they receive. Names are listed on a document called an Eligible Register. From the Eligible Register we pull the top 15 names (plus ties) or the top scoring category of names and send application materials to the hiring supervisor for further consideration for hire. Employee Relations will send a letter informing you of your score and whether you were among the top candidates. Eligible Registers can be used to fill future vacancies for up to two years.

Consideration for Hire:

The names and application materials of the top candidates are provided to the hiring supervisor. The hiring supervisor will review and consider the application materials of all candidates forwarded to him/her. He/she will invite some or all of the candidates to participate in additional selection processes to determine who will be hired. Being forwarded to and considered by the hiring supervisor does not guarantee you will be interviewed.

Length of Process:

The recruitment process typically takes four to six weeks from the time a position is posted until it has been filled. Please see our Recruitment Process Status page to find out the status of a particular job.
