The Bidding Process for COLT Postings
Promotional opportunities and vacant positions in COLT (Clerical, Office, Laboratory, Technical) are announced weekly on postings. These announcements include: the job number and title; a generic scope and function statement and requirements; special conditions; salary range; department and location; date posted; removal date; and the deadline date for the receipt of bids.
Positions To Be Posted
All regular 12- or 10-month vacant positions of twenty (20) hours or more per week that are to be filled and are included within the COLT bargaining unit will be posted.
Eligibility
- Employees working twenty (20) hours a week or more and having been employed in their present position for a period of at least six (6) months.
- Casual and temporary employees are not eligible to bid. They may apply for vacancies when positions are placed into open recruitment (see "Additional Candidates" noted below).
- Employees holding confidential positions may use this process.
Posting Announcements
COLT postings appear online and are usually announced on a Friday. The bid acceptance date will always appear on each posting.
How To Apply
Apply online through the Applicant Tracking System (ATS) using your NetID and password. If you do not have a NetID, you may register for one online.
To apply for COLT vacancies, go to our job listings web page. Select the position(s) you are interested in from the list. Select “Apply Now” and you will be prompted to log in with your NetID and password. Once you log in, just submit your application or resume by 9 a.m. on the date indicated.
Employees (bidders) who meet the posted requirements will have their applications/resumes forwarded to the departmental hiring authority for consideration. Bidders will be contacted by the hiring manager to schedule an interview.
Frequency of Applying for a Posted Position
There is no limitation on the number of times an eligible employee may bid on posted positions, except that after an employee has been successful, the employee must wait six months before bidding on another position.
Selection of Candidates
The selection of the successful bidder will be determined with primary consideration given to performance, demonstrated ability, and qualifications. After these factors have been carefully considered, if two or more bidders for the vacancy are equally qualified based on the aforementioned criteria, then seniority shall be the determining factor in the selection of the successful bidder for the position. A bidder who does not meet the posted requirements of a particular job will not be interviewed for the job. The successful bidder will not have an additional probationary period.
Additional Candidates
When there are no bidders to be considered, University Human Resources will introduce additional qualified candidates to the hiring department for their consideration. These may include bidders who have applied after the deadline or other applicants.
