Temporary Staff Employment Pools

How the Pools Work

Applications for the various pools are accepted to keep on hand should an emergency need arise -- we are not recruiting for current openings. Applications are kept for six (6) months and then purged. When a request for a temporary emergency employee comes in, applications are forwarded to the requesting department for their review. They in turn can choose to call for phone or in-person interviews or, just select a candidate based on what they see on paper -- it's up to them. These requests arise typically as a result of an unexpected leave (medical or otherwise) of a regular employee, or when an employee terminates their employment. These temporary emergency appointments are for a duration of no longer than 90 days, they are not long-term appointments. The pools are sometimes used to fill a position temporarily (90 days) until a regular recruitment can be processed and someone can be hired on a more permanent basis. As a reminder, you will only be contacted during the 6 month period if a request for the classification in which you have applied/qualified for is made by a department and they choose to interview you.

The final candidate for any of these positions may be required to submit to and successfully pass a LiveScan criminal records check prior to being hired.
