Screen applicants for evaluations, qualifications, seniority, and ability to work with staff; and, for promotions and new hires only, experience, past performance, education, training, special skills and ability to work with staff.

SEIU shall have the opportunity to have up to two members participate in the interview of potential new classified unit hires as follows: a. The District shall notify the SEIU President that an interview has been scheduled with a potential new classified hire as soon as reasonably possible. If the SEIU President is not available or cannot be reached, the District shall attempt to notify the SEIU Vice-President. b. SEIU shall have the right to determine which two of its members will participate in the interview. The District reserves the right, however, to request that additional employees participate in the interviews at its discretion. c. It is understood that because of the competitiveness of the industry interviewers are frequently arranged in a short time-frame. Accordingly, notwithstanding 9.4(b) above, if after a reasonable attempt the District is unable to contact the SEIU member and offer that person the opportunity to participate in the interview. However, if no SEIU member can be contacted nor appears at the scheduled interview, the District may proceed with the interview. d. The purpose of the Association’s participation in the interview of potential new classified unit hires shall be to assist with and provide input into the hiring of classified unit members.
