SECTION 260:25-9-123. Expedited recruitment

(a)   The Administrator may select positions or job family levels for expedited recruitment when in the opinion of the Administrator the education, experience or certification requirements for such positions or job family levels substantially limit the pool of available applicants to less than an adequate applicant pool as defined by 260:25-9-111. Applicants for positions selected for expedited recruitment who have been approved by the Human Capital Management Division as meeting the minimum qualifications for the job may be referred to agencies having such vacancies without examination and ranking, provided that the register for the job has been publicly announced for at least 14 calendar days. Applicants for positions selected for expedited recruitment are eligible for appointment upon referral. [74:840-1.6A]

(b)   An Appointing Authority may request that positions or job family levels be considered for expedited recruitment by submitting a written request to the Administrator. The request shall describe the unique education, experience or certification requirements that substantially limit the pool of available applicants, the recruitment efforts made by the agency, the suggested duration of the expedited recruitment designation, and shall be accompanied by a Position Description Questionnaire (HCM-39) for the position(s). The Administrator may request clarification or additional information from the agency. The Administrator shall provide the agency with written notification of his approval or denial of the request. The decision of the Administrator shall be final.

(c)   An Appointing Authority who has expedited recruitment authority may retain that authority for 12 months from the date of approval by the Administrator unless that authority is terminated by the Administrator pursuant to 260:25-9-121. The Appointing Authority may reapply to continue expedited
