The candidate's employment application and a referral card will also be forwarded to the hiring department. Tests administered outside the Personnel Services Office must be reviewed by the Personnel Services Office for compliance with federal guidelines. The Personnel Services Office is responsible for maintaining complete official files, resumes, and tests for classified job openings. All applicants for employment should provide names of individuals who can be contacted as professional references. Reference checks are normally made by the hiring department.
References are to be considered with all other sources of information about applicants.
If the candidate selected does not meet departmental affirmative action goals, written justification must be submitted on why the selected person should be hired. The written documentation must include the name of the selected candidate and the reason for not meeting affirmative action goals, and be submitted to the dean or vice president for approval before an offer is extended to the individual. Upon approval of the dean or vice president, the documentation is sent to the Personnel Services Office for review. The referral card will include a written statement of the specific reasons for nonselection. Applications of unsuccessful candidates are retained by the Personnel Services Office for consideration for other job openings.
