Notice of Vacancies to allow for fair opportunity for interested persons
and quality outcomes for agencies. |

| BACKGROUND:
|
|
Minimum recruitment periods for state job vacancies were
developed to facilitate recruitment periods which enable fair
and equitable treatment to current state employees, persons in
the reemployment pool, persons eligible for a Kansas
Employee Preference, persons eligible for reinstatement, the
general public, and provide sufficient advertising opportunity
to attract quality applicants.
There have been numerous inquiries about the minimum and
maximum length of time that state jobs vacancies must be
advertised in the state Notice of Vacancies listing. Although
state regulations do not specifically define minimum or maximum
recruitment time frames, K.A.R. 1-6-2(b)(3) requires that the
Director of Personnel Services establish guidelines regarding
the length of time agencies are required to accept applicants
for job vacancies. These guidelines have previously been
communicated to agencies via training sessions and the SHARP
training manuals.

PROCEDURES: |
|
The length of time for a job vacancy being posted on the Notice of
Vacancy report should be determined by the agencies' recruitment needs
for that particular position.
At a minimum, all job requisitions must remain
open for at least seven calendar days for any Notice of Vacancy job
posting. Agencies have the discretion to post the requisition for as
long as they would like, up to and including, leaving the
requisition open until filled for positions with the most
challenging recruitment needs.
Bulletin No. 99-02 is hereby revoked.
