EMPLOYMENT AND REEMPLOYMENT PRIORITIES

In certain situations, some job applicants have priority consideration over other candidates. Keep these state employment and reemployment policies in mind during the recruiting process. Employees who are responsible for evaluating employment applications review the initial applicant pool to identify applicants with priority status. All employment/reemployment priorities are to be applied in accordance with state policy. This will require, in some instances, that applications of individuals with certain priorities will be included among those referred to the hiring manager. All individuals involved in application evaluation, including the hiring manager, will receive advice and guidance from the Human Resource staff regarding the priority consideration that must be applied.

Consideration must be given to applicants with the following priorities:
