617 Contacting Eligibles

617.1 Preparation of Interview Notice

Send Form 2550, Interview Notice, to each eligible listed. In an urgent situation, eligibles may be contacted by phone; however, in such cases make a note of the call on the Hiring Worksheet and keep a record of those eligibles who decline the opportunity or are unavailable. In an impartial manner, describe to all eligibles the position or positions to be filled. Inactivate all eligibles who decline to be considered, fail to respond, or from whom a communication is returned undelivered.

617.2 Maintaining Copies of Interview Notices

Retain a copy of every Form 2550 with the Hiring Worksheet.
