Additional information on employee testing is available. The hiring official must decide whether to post the job internally to current UVA salaried employees only or whether to post the job as open to the public. If knowledge of University policies, systems and processes is a strong preference and the trial pool indicates that a diverse group of qualified applicants are available internally, the hiring official may want to post the vacancy as available to UVA salaried employees only. Otherwise, the position should normally be posted as open to the public. The hiring official determines which active applications are referred by specifying the application period.
Applications are active for a period of ninety days.
However, the hiring official has the ability to restrict the application period. Any applicant, even those in the existing active pool, would need to apply or reapply during the restricted period in order to be considered for the vacancy. For example, if a great deal of overtime is expected or weekend work is required, the hiring official can state this in the additional selection criteria field. The posting of this expectation in the additional selection criteria validates the elimination of candidates who cannot work overtime or weekends. Another example could state the requirement to do HTML programming as additional selection criteria.
