How do agencies make job appointments?
The hiring agency may choose to fill a vacancy by appointing or promoting a current permanent employee, reinstating a former employee, or appointing any person listed on an official eligibles referral list. The agency is not required to interview any fixed number of referred eligibles. In fact, the agency may choose not to conduct interviews.Who may be selected: When selecting from a referral list, the agency must hire from among the top ten (10) currently available names on the referral list, including any persons scoring the same as the tenth person. If there are more than 100 total available eligibles the agency may select any person scoring at or above the 90th percentile. This enables the agency to select from a larger group, and provides broader job opportunity to higher ranking eligibles. Remember, unless the agency requests a statewide referral, only eligibles available to work in the job location are referred. Note: Referral to a hiring agency does not guarantee an interview.
