HIRING PROCEDURES:
Employment eligibility lists are established by ranking candidates according to their overall score by examination (written and/or oral). The candidates must be successful in each part of the examination. To fill each vacancy, the hiring department will request names from the employment list, and will make a selection from the list. Depending on the number of candidates who were successful in being placed on the eligibility list, the hiring department which is attempting to fill the vacant position may elect to second interview some or all of the candidates who are on the eligibility list prior to making a final decision to hire. The hiring department head may contact the selected candidate by telephone to determine whether he/she is still willing to accept employment, but the job offer can only be made in writing, and that official written offer of employment shall be made by the Personnel Department. Lists remain in effect for a period to be determined by the Personnel Director.
