| Non-Recruitment Overview
Non-Recruitment is a non-competitive process in which the hiring manager identifies the candidate for hire in lieu of the position being posted and advertised.
In special circumstances, Non-Recruitment can be used to fill limited (temporary) and by agreement (BYA) appointments.
Hiring managers are strongly encouraged to fill positions through Recruitment; however, Non-Recruitment may be used if the position:
- Will not exceed 800 hours, and
- Will not exceed 6 months in duration, and
- Has a definite end date, and
- The individual does not have a bank of limited appointment hours that would cause the appointment to convert to career status.
Process Overview:
- The Hiring Manager (HM) determines the appropriateness of hiring an individual without a recruitment, in consultation with their HR Service Team Representative (HRSTR).
- The HRSTR assists the HM in assembling a Non-Recruitment Request Packet.
- Employment processes the Non-Recruitment Request.
- The Classification Analyst classifies the position.
- The Recruitment Specialist makes a formal job offer to the selected candidate.
- Employment conducts sign up if the selected candidate is a new hire or rehire.
- The HRSTR conducts On-Boarding of the selected candidate.
