- Application Screening: All submitted applications will be screened for minimum qualifications.
- Written Exam: For some positions, a written exam may be administered to help assess applicants for position competency and requirements. Those meeting the minimum qualifications for the position in Step 1 will be invited to a written examination. Typically, the minimum qualifying score on the written exam is 70%. This score may be adjusted depending on the number of examinees, with percentile rankings, average scores and the number of slots available for the oral appraisal interview being used as the basis for adjusting the passing score.
- Oral Appraisal Interview: Those passing Steps 1 and 2 will be invited to the oral appraisal interview. The oral appraisal interview is an assessment of the candidate’s experience and preparation for the position by an impartial panel of subject matter experts. Scores from the oral appraisal interview are typically weighted 100% towards the Eligibility List for the position. Candidates must attain a minimum score of 70% on the oral panel interview to qualify for the Eligibility List.

Candidates on the Eligibility List are deemed qualified for the position and may be called at any time to participate in a selection interview with the hiring department to fill a vacancy in this position.
