• Identification of interviewees can take 4 to 8 weeks after the application materials are referred to the hiring department.
• Hiring unit and/or search committee will schedule and conduct interviews.

No Longer Under Consideration 

If you applied by the Initial Review Date (IRD), your application materials were carefully considered and assessed against required job qualifications. The hiring department determined your application materials did not demonstrate the skills required to be selected for an interview.

• Follow-up communication with applicants routed/not interviewed is at the discretion of the hiring department.
• Applicants may contact the Talent Acquisition Office at 831-459-2009 to inquire which selection criteria they did not meet as strongly as those selected for interview.
