HIRING PROCESS How are appointments made?
Appointments are made by the various appointing authorities or department heads and not by the Personnel Department. When a vacancy occurs in any department, the Personnel Department submits the five highest ranking names on the eligible list for the appointing authority or department head to choose from. The remaining names go back on the eligible list for consideration for future vacancies. The eligible list stays in effect until a new examination is given and a new list established, not to exceed two years.
