If a review committee is used, the committee chairperson will recommend for interviews the number of qualified applicants who best meet the position requirements requested by the selecting officer.
Under no circumstance should an applicant rated as “Not Qualified” on required examinations or on the application review be recommended to the selecting official.
If no applicants meet the criteria for recommendation, the selecting official should consult Human Resources about reposting the vacancy with an expanded area of consideration.
Note: When a Supervisor, Customer Services, or Supervisor, Distribution Operations, vacancy is being filled externally, exam-qualified competitors must be put on a hiring list in rank order to be interviewed by the selecting official. Selections are made as described in 623 through 626.
The review committee chairperson will indicate the identified applicants as “Recommended” or “Not Recommended” via the applicant tracking system questionnaires.
