E. After the screening is completed, the Employment Office staff will forward the Referral & Selection Form that includes the list of qualified candidates along with the applications of those candidates to the departmental hiring official or departmental contact person for Human Resources. The number of candidates referred is based on the number of qualified candidates, their relative qualifications as compared to the minimum requirements, and whether the candidate is a City employee. All active City employees (whether full time or part time, seasonal, roster, temporary) who meet the advertised minimum qualifications for the position will be referred.

The panel must contain one member who is not from the hiring division.
