Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects, Including Any Changes in Existing Rules: Due to the launch of a new on-line recruiting system, the department of personnel staff conducted a review of the recruitment rules (chapter 357-16 WAC). The new system will not have a central talent pool therefore we are proposing to remove the "central talent pool" language from WAC 357-16-025. WAC 357-16-100 currently says an applicant's exam results must be made available "within a reasonable time period." Under the new system the exams are not scored until after the applicant is processed. This could delay the applicant receiving their score. Therefore staff is proposing a repeal of WAC 357-16-100. Also under the new system there is not a way to remove a candidate from a list other than when they are appointed from the list. Staff is therefore proposing we change the rule to say the applicant's name "may be" removed rather than "is" removed.
