Issue Certificate and Notify Eligibles

Hiring Process Analysis Tool

Step 9: Issue Certificate and Notify Eligibles

The Issue Certificate and Notify Eligibles element is performed by the Human Resources Office (HRO). This element takes 1 day.

In this element, the HRO issues a certificate of eligibles to the selecting official. The HRO creates this certificate by rank ordering the eligible candidates based on the ranking procedure identified in the job opportunity announcement and eligible candidates identified in the fourth step of the Evaluate Applications element.

After the certificate is issued to the selecting official, the HRO will notify applicants of the status of their applications i.e. whether they were determined eligible or ineligible for the position.
