How are jobs filled within DOI?
DOI positions may be filled internally (from within DOI) or from external sources. Supervisors, with the advice and assistance of a personnel specialist, will normally determine how they will fill a vacant position. They consider the level and nature of the position and the likelihood of attracting high quality candidates for the position before determining and extending the recruitment area. They also consider the impact of attracting and maintaining a diverse work force. Personnel offices announce vacancies and accept applications from candidates who apply from within the area of consideration. Candidates are then rated and ranked against established criteria. Those candidates who are ranked as the “best qualified” are referred to the supervisor for selection consideration.
