3) Diversity /Affirmative Action Goals <br />a. Is this position currently in a category that is underutilized in the <br />Affirmative Action Plan? If so, is there a diverse feeder pool for this <br />position? <br />b. If a position is currently underutilized, in order to maintain our good faith <br />efforts toward diversity and affirmative action, we would strongly <br />recommend posting the vacancy externally. <br />4) Community Perception <br />a. Is this a position with a high degree of community contact and awareness <br />of a potential opening? <br />b. What would be the community perception if this position was only <br />available to internal candidates and are you prepared to discuss the <br />reasons why the decision was made to fill the vacancy internally? <br />5) Other Potential Considerations <br />a. Cost savings of an internal only recruitment- this would be a good <br />potential reason if enough of the above criteria are also met. <br />b. Time savings: Again, this criteria would come into play only if enough of <br />the above criteria are met. If saving time and getting someone into the <br />position as quickly as possible is the primary reason for the request, other <br />options such as a shorter internal /external posting, AIC, Career <br />Development, reallocation of work within the work group, etc. should be <br />considered. <br />c. Internal technical or process knowledge is a high priority. This criteria on <br />its own is compelling only in very limited situations, however if it is coupled <br />With some of the above criteria, such as a strong internal applicant pool, <br />then it becomes more viable. <br />Internal Posting Procedure <br />It is important for departments to be transparent and able to articulate the reasons they <br />have decided to pursue an internal only recruitment option. To this end, we ask that <br />each hiring manager who would like to consider an internal only recruitment option go <br />through the following steps: <br />1) Consider the impact: <br />Take the time to go through the above criteria, think about each of the guidelines <br />outlined, and determine whether or not the reasons for the internal recruitment <br />make sense for the overall business need as well as the good of the City overall. <br />http ../ /eeshare /a /hr /Guides Procedures/hitemal Posting_Guide.docx <br />-2- Last Updated 03 /28/2011 <br />
