Comparing Internal Candidates Clause Samples
The 'Comparing Internal Candidates' clause establishes the process and criteria for evaluating current employees who apply for a new or open position within an organization. Typically, this clause outlines how internal applicants will be assessed, such as through performance reviews, relevant experience, or tenure, and may specify that internal candidates are given priority consideration before external applicants. Its core function is to ensure a fair and transparent selection process for internal mobility, helping to retain talent and motivate employees by providing clear advancement opportunities.
Comparing Internal Candidates a. System seniority shall be the determining criteria for filling vacancies within the same classification.
b. In deciding between two (2) or more bargaining unit members from outside the classification to fill a vacancy, system seniority shall prevail if all other considerations are equal. Those considerations include experience or training, either in the same job or in a job of related skill, satisfactory evaluations, and satisfactorily completing any standardized assessments required of the position.
