Certification Lists Sample Clauses

Certification Lists. The Rule of Seven is followed when certifying lists for consideration: • If a list other than a reemployment eligible list is to be used, the top seven available candidates on the eligible list are certified to the appointing authority. • If any other candidates have the same score as the number seven candidate, they are also certified to the vacancy. • If more than one vacancy is being filled, the base number of candidates to be certified is increased by one for each additional vacancy. For example, if there are not ties at number seven on the list and there are two vacancies, eight names are certified. If two individuals are ties at number seven and there are two vacancies, eight names are certified. • When a name is removed from the list under this Section, the next highest scoring candidate is added to the list. Names are removed from the eligible list for the following reasons: o Candidate declines 3 job offers o Candidate requests to have name removed o Candidate fails to respond to interview invitation o Candidate cannot be located by U.S. Postal Service o Candidate is appointed to a permanent position in the classification for which their name was on an eligible list (does not apply to temporary position appointments) • If the list contains six or less names, the appointing authority may select from that list, schedule another examination or use an alternate eligible list.
