  • All recruitment efforts and sources are entered in Recruiting Solutions.
  • All applicants are ranked using the Interview, Qualified, and Unqualified disposition codes
  • All candidates ranked “Interview” will be offered an interview (initial interview can be via phone or Skype etc… or in person).
  • UCPEA applicants meeting the minimum qualifications and having indicated their UCPEA membership on application materials are ranked “Interview” and offered an interview
