Selections
Mission
The mission of Recruiting & Hiring is to ensure and promote fairness and consistency in the recruitment, selection and retention of qualified applicants and provide service and guidance to upper management, employees and applicants.
Selections consists of three functional areas:
Selections
The core function of Selections is to post and fill all non-correctional officer (CO) positions within the agency. This includes creating job postings, screening applications for minimum qualifications, and assisting with the coordination of interviews. Once an applicant is cleared for hire, the selections section will reach out to the candidate to offer the position and begin the onboarding process. This section maintains selection paperwork and applicant flow statistics; and provide policy guidance to managers, Human Resource staff, employees, and applicants.
Administrative Reassignments
The core function of Administrative Reassignment is to review and verify the request of agency employees to transfer to another non-CO vacant position within the agency. This includes coordinating with and providing guidance to Hiring Managers, Human Resources Staff, Payroll, and Employees.
Clearances
Clearances processes comprehensive background checks on outside candidates selected for agency positions prior to the conditional offer of employment. In addition, this section processes clearances on contract, and private facility applicants. This area maintains clearance paperwork, databases, and subscriptions to the DPS FACT Clearinghouse.
