What happens after I apply for a position?
How we rank applications.
With the approval of the State Personnel Board, our office re-instated a minimum qualification threshold for all state classifications. This threshold established the minimum education and minimum work experience recognized for an applicant to be eligible for the position being recruited. Applicants will be asked questions during the application process to determine if they minimally qualify for a position. Applicants who meet the minimum qualifications will continue through the application process and will be ranked based on their responses to additional questions they respond to before submitting an application. The Human Resource Representative confirms the qualifications of the candidates the hiring manager identifies to interview. This process takes place in order to comply with statute which requires the establishment of employment lists for the certification of the highest standing candidates to the prospective employer.
Upon verification, the top 15 applicants are referred to the hiring agency.
(Additional applicants may be sent with SPO approval)
