5. SELECTION PROCESS
When a vacant position is to be filled, we will provide the site/department Administrator with the names of the top three ranks from the eligibility list via a “Certified List”. In the case of ties, there may be more than three individuals in the top three ranks. The site/department Administrator may interview and select from among those applicants certified to them. However, they are not required to interview all applicants on the certification list. Sites/Departments will call and/or email with interview details.
Failure to respond and/or report for an interview will result in removal from the eligibility list.
The names of those not selected will remain on the eligibility list.
