Form B is used to record and track all applicants for positions. The Form B provides the basic information needed to describe the applicant pool. At the end of the recruitment and selection process, all the information on the Form B is entered into a computerized database to develop the selection information required by the federal government. This information permits analysis of the numbers of applicants, interviewees, and hires, and the numbers of protected class persons included in those candidate groups. Incomplete or illegible forms will be returned to the department for appropriate changes before recruitment and selection can continue.
Candidates are to be listed in alphabetical order.
All persons who express interest in being considered for a position are applicants, regardless of qualifications. A person who has been nominated or who was listed in a professional registry becomes an applicant only after the individual responds to an invitation to submit an application. Names of all applicants and the dates on which their applications are received should be recorded as they are received.
