What is a continuous recruitment examination?
A continuous recruitment examination is an examination where applications are accepted on an on-going basis. For experience and training examinations, scoring is usually completed every four to twelve weeks. Examination announcements often contain a series of closing and grading dates. For written examinations, the examination announcement will contain a series of scheduled test dates and the closing date for each test date. Continuous recruitment examinations are used for job titles where there is a lot of hiring activity or for job titles that are very specialized and there may be a limited number of qualified applicants.
