G5200 - Selection

The administration of the hiring process is the joint responsibility of Human Resources and the hiring administrator or supervisor. Human Resources’ primary responsibility is to ensure that processes meet legal requirement and protect the integrity of the District’s employment policies. Human Resources’ staff are also responsible for screening all applications to ensure applicants have the appropriate license or certification and meet the minimum requirements specified in the job description.

The hiring administrator or supervisor, in consultation with Human Resources, has the responsibility to conduct an appropriate and effective selection process and making a hiring recommendation. It is the hiring administrator’s or supervisor’s responsibility to be familiar with the District’s affirmative action plan and consider the goals outlined in the plan when filling positions. The selection process for positions may vary but will generally include a structured interview process. Other selection tools, such as written testing or skill demonstrations, may be used if they are job-related.

All hiring recommendations must be approved by the Superintendent. For all administrators and licensed employees, hiring recommendations must also be approved by the Board.
