A. City employees and the general public may apply on-line by visiting the City’s website (www.slcgov.com). Applicants who do not have access to computers may use computers available in the Human Resource Division office in the City and County Building.
B. Hard copy applications are also accepted and will be scanned into the on-line system.
C. If the hiring authority receives applications through some other means (e.g., direct mail), these applications (or copies of the applications) must be forwarded to Human Resources for appropriate logging and scanning.
D. Screening for the minimum qualifications will generally take place after the closing date. This screening process may take as long as three to four days, depending on the amount of applications received.
E. If a large number of applicants meet the minimum qualifications, Human Resources may request the Hiring Authority to review for additional screening criteria. The purpose for this assessment is to make a determination of which candidates will be invited to participate in interviews or other selection processes.
F. If the hiring authority wishes to conduct the initial screening for minimum qualifications (usually only in the case of specialized knowledge and expertise), Human Resources staff will clarify screening criteria, procedures, and the requirement to document decisions for each application. The hiring authority will review the results of the screening process with Human Resources staff before proceeding to interview or other selection process, in order to ensure adequate documentation and job-related justification.
