By identifying the essential functions at the time of recruitment, you demonstrate that they were identified with respect to the needs of the position and not raised suddenly as a reaction to an applicant or employee's physical restrictions or a request for reasonable accommodation. When interviewing candidates, make sure to provide a copy of the full job description with the essential duties annotated with asterisks, and a copy of the PEM form. Equally important is to return the application materials to the Employment Unit as soon as a selection has been made so that they may close out the job and complete federally mandated data reporting. Return all applications except the selected candidate's application, which goes in the person's personnel file. Finally, make sure to notify all non-selected applicants that they were not selected.
HR gets many phone calls and e-mail messages from applicants asking whether a job has been filled.
According to Employment Manager Betty Briggs-Marshall, the University's outreach recruitment efforts are seriously undermined if applicants are not informed of the results after they apply.
