Do you have to hire a person just because they are on the civil service list? |
Do you have to hire a person just because they are on the civil service list? No. Civil Service rules, at least in my State, have a provision called "The rule of three". This means that a name can be skipped over to reach the next person, as long as you are within three names. Also, the person on this list has to express a legitimate interest in the job, must be available at the time of hire, and must be qualified. So even if a person passes a Civil Service Examination and gets his/her name on a hiring list, does not necessarilly mean one is qualified. If the Appointing authority deems that the person on the list is not eligible, they have the means to remove a person off the hiring list by furnishing adequate proof of that ineligibilty to Civil Service. The only exception to the rule of three is if your State or municipality has adopted giving veterans special status. In this instance, qualified veterans who are interested in the job have absolute rights to being hired and cannot be skipped over from an open competitive list.
