Common use of Nature of Examinations and Panels Clause in Contracts

Nature of Examinations and Panels. A) All employment and promotional examinations and/or panels shall be competitive and shall utilize an appropriate assessment technique designed to fairly test the core competencies of persons examined. The means or measures used to test persons may include any verbal or written test of knowledge, skill, capacity, intelligence, or aptitude; and any inquiry into the personal suitability of the candidate; or any investigation of education, experience or record of accomplishment which seems appropriate. No test or question in any application or examination shall be constructed to call for or lead to disclosure of any information, preferences or opinions concerning any political, religious, fraternal or racial affiliation. Any such disclosure or information revealed shall be disregarded. When a candidate has passed an interview and subsequently applies for another position with similar duties and responsibilities, the Commission may deem an interview unnecessary. Other assessment techniques may still be required and the senior qualified process will apply.
