Hiring Manager Procedure

1. Request Approval

Your HR Senior Partner (HRSP) is available to assist you with any of the following steps.

1. If a near relative is selected as the best-qualified candidate for the position, consult with your HRSP to identify any risks (see Criteria) and develop a plan to mitigate the risks.
   
   
2. Submit a request for approval to your HRSP via e-mail, prior to an informal or formal offer. The request should include the following information:
   
   
   • Name and prospective title of prospective employee,
   • Name and title of employee in the department who is a near relative,
   • Familial relationship of the prospective and current employee(s),
   • The expected work-related interactions between the two positions,
   • The plan to mitigate any risks (e.g., the restructure of the organization, reassignment of duties), and
   • Justification for approval.

   Identify a second choice candidate in the event that approval is not given to hire the near relative.

3. Receive notification from your HRSP regarding approval/disapproval of your request.

1. If request is approved, proceed with job offer:
   
   
   • See Recruitment if employment action is the result of a recruitment.
   • See Non-Recruitment if employment action is the result of a non-recruitment.
   • See Waiver of Recruitment if employment action is the result of a waiver.
     
     
2. If request is not approved, notify candidate of the near relative conflict and your inability to hire them. Continue with the screening, interview and selection process for the remaining applicants.
