(a) The Personnel Management Division shall administer a centralized system of recruiting applicants. An active recruitment program based on relative ability, knowledge, and skills shall be conducted to meet the human resource requirements of the State. Reasonable efforts shall be made to attract suitable numbers of qualified applicants to compete for appointments. The Personnel Management Division may authorize agencies to conduct their own recruitment programs for specific classes or positions. Such programs shall be subject to the approval and review of the Personnel Management Division.
(b) To fill any vacant position, there shall be recruitment. All recruitment shall be written, posted and conducted in such a manner and for such time periods as determined by the Personnel Management Division to be useful and expedient for the class involved.
(c) The Personnel Management Division shall be notified on the appropriate form of all recruitment efforts.
(d) No offer of employment shall be made to any applicant until specified deadlines have passed and the processing of applications, administration of exams, and the certification of referral of applicants have been completed.
(e) The Personnel Management Division may require a formal recruitment effort of any necessary length before referring applicants for final selection consideration.
(a) Official Vacancy Announcements.
(i) Official Vacancy Announcements shall be requested on the prescribed form by the agency and prepared and released by the Personnel Management Division. Official vacancy announcements shall be sent to all State agencies. Each agency head shall be responsible for ensuring that a sufficient number of each announcement is posted in such places as are known by, and available to, all employees of that agency.
(ii) The information provided in official vacancy announcements shall include, but not be limited to: official class title, class code, salary, employment location, description of the essential functions of the job, minimum qualifications for entry to the class, procedures for applying, and the statement that the State of Wyoming is 'an EEO/ADA employer.'
(iii) Recruitment efforts to supplement the official vacancy announcement are encouraged. Such additional recruitment efforts, however, are the responsibility of the hiring agency. The agency shall inform the Personnel
Management Division of the form and content of any supplemental recruitment efforts. All vacancy notices placed in newspapers, journals or other sources shall contain at least the following: official class title, class code, salary, employment location, minimum qualifications for entry to the class, procedures for applying, and a statement that the agency is 'an EEO/ADA employer'. Copies of such notices shall be sent to the Personnel Management Division.
(iv) When official vacancy announcements for open competitive recruitment are released, a minimum of three weeks shall be provided for acceptance of applications. If supplemental vacancy notices are used in conjunction with the official vacancy announcement, they shall carry the same closing date.
(i) With the prior verbal approval of the Personnel Management Division, a vacancy may be publicized by news advertisements or other appropriate methods in lieu of an official vacancy announcement. In requesting approval to publicize a vacancy through means other than an official vacancy announcement the appointing authority shall give the reasons for the request and indicate the proposed alternative method. In those cases where a vacancy notice is released without prior approval of the Personnel Management Division, the agency is not only responsible for its content but may be required to release an official vacancy announcement.
(ii) All vacancy notices placed in newspapers, journals or other sources shall contain at least the following: official class title, class code, salary, employment location, minimum qualifications for entry to the class, procedures for applying, and a statement that the agency is 'an EEO/ADA employer'. Copies of such notices shall be sent to the Personnel Management Division.
(iii) If approval is granted from the Personnel Management Division to advertize using methods other than the official vacancy announcement (eg. newspapers, journals etc.), the closing date shall be no less than five (5) calendar days from the date of release.
(a) If recruitment is to be limited to State, agency, or work unit employees only, the agency shall notify all eligible and potentially interested employees by means of an agency-released vacancy notice. Agency-released vacancy notices shall contain at least the following: official class title, class code, salary, employment location, description of the essential functions of the job, minimum qualifications for entry to the class, procedures for applying, a statement that the agency is 'an EEO/ADA employer,' and a final closing date.
(b) Agencies releasing promotional vacancy notices are encouraged to obtain the prior approval of the Personnel Management Division. The agency shall be responsible for any adverse actions resulting from the release or the content of any vacancy notices which have not had the prior review and approval of the Personnel Management Division. A copy of the vacancy notice shall be submitted to the Personnel Management Division. The Personnel Management Division shall not be bound to screen applications pursuant to the stated qualification standards or application procedure on vacancy notices not previously reviewed and approved by the Personnel Management Division.
(c) There are no specific time limits for agencies desiring to limit recruitment to agency employees only. The vacancy announcement, however, shall be circulated or posted so that all potentially interested persons have an opportunity to apply. If, however, the agency chooses to limit recruitment to State employees only the closing date shall be no less than ten (10) calendar days from the date of release.
