How many qualified applicants are required to be interviewed for non-biddable assignments?

For non-biddable assignments within the Department of State Police Transfer Policy (ADM-27), the requirement is to interview at least three qualified applicants. This policy is designed to ensure that a broader selection of candidates is considered for these positions, promoting fairness and transparency in the hiring process. By interviewing multiple qualified applicants, the organization can evaluate the skills, experiences, and fit of a diverse range of candidates, ultimately leading to more informed decisions about who to select for the assignment. Additionally, this practice mitigates potential biases that may emerge from only considering a limited pool of candidates or just one individual.
