A list of qualified candidates is established through metrics obtained during the examination/application process and referrals are then made to the hiring departments. Factors such as location, shift, and special skills may be reviewed by a department and used in determining top candidates. If a department is interested in interviewing an applicant, they will contact the candidate directly. Please regularly check both your email inbox AND your SPAM/JUNK folders as some departmental level emails are rejected by internal settings. Also ensure your phone has voicemail set up if you don’t answer unknown numbers.
